Hy-Bird: An ambitious project

The "Hy-Bird" project plans to fly around the world with a 100% clean electric airplane powered only by renewable energies: solar energy and hydrogen.

Indeed, photovoltaic cells affixed on the wing and on the horizontal tail will supply sufficient energy for the take off and for on-board power supply. Besides, a fuel cell will fuel the aircraft for cruise flight. An electric engine (more silent than heat engines) will propel Hy-Bird.
