波音和 福特 成功地测试了一台新的氢飞机发动机以持续几乎四天的一次被模仿的飞行。
项目，称高空长期航空机(硬朗的)航空器，被开办测试怯弱的可行性工艺在永久飞行到行动当可以迅速是和便宜地设定的通信系统覆盖面通过传统手段不是可利用的地方。
“This test could help convince potential customers that hydrogen-powered aircraft are viable in the near-term,” said Boeing Advanced Systems president George Muellner.
“This is a substantial step towards providing the persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities our customers desire.”
The HALE’s engine is a modified four cylinder Ford engine that can use hydrogen as a fuel and run for extended period. In a simulation chamber the engine ran for nearly four days, powering the craft up to an equivalent of 65,000 feet.
“This simulated flight allows us to showcase the capabilities of Ford’s proprietary hydrogen engine technology and the durability of our four-cylinder engines,” said Gerhard Schmidt, vice president of Ford Research and Advanced Engineering.
“We are very pleased with the results. The gasoline version of this same engine can be found in our Ford Fusion and Escape Hybrid vehicles.”
