A group of New Zealand and Australian companies have successfully filled a set of aviation tanks with liquid hydrogen both produced and stored on-site for the first time at an international airport.
Fabrum, AMSL Aero, and Stralis Aircraft have filled tanks in preparation for pre-flight testing, marking another step toward the transition to zero-emission aviation.
Refuelling was carried out at Fabrum’s dedicated liquid-hydrogen test facility at Christchurch Airport, with the company also responsible for the design and manufacturing of the composite tanks themselves.
