Universal Hydrogen has signed letters of intent with three airlines to convert more than 15 regional airliners to run on green hydrogen.
The company is developing conversion kits that accept interchangeable hydrogen modules that work like recyclable coffee pods.
The aircraft in question will be De Havilland Canada DHC8-Q300, or Dash-8. Universal Hydrogen has been working on a Dash-8 kit for some time now, replacing the standard plane's Pratt & Whitney turboprops and jet fuel tanks with a pair of two-megawatt Magnix electric motors, a hefty fuel cell and a modular hydrogen fuel system whose tanks pop in and out like great big seven-foot (2 m) long Nespresso pods.
That's a comparison the company seems keep to push, as evidenced by this recent Reuters interview - link - more like this - link
