Urban Aeronautics this week reached agreement with HyPoint to provide hydrogen-fuel-cell technology for its planned CityHawk eVTOL aircraft. The Israeli company believes that by late 2022 or early in 2023 it might be ready to fly a full-scale prototype with a hybrid-electric propulsion, with a view to a hydrogen-powered version of the six-seat design being ready to enter service between 2028 and 2030.
