    powered by fuel cells and lithium batteries in the summer of 2016.

    According to reports, HY-4 (pictured above) is a zero-emission aircraft that uses fuel cells for energy during the cruising phase and high-power lithium-ion battery packs
    during takeoff and climb stages.
    The aircraft adopts a two-fuselage layout, each side of the fuselage adopts parallel two-seater, a total weight of 1500 kg, using an 80 kW motor drive, the maximum speed can reach 200 km / h, the cruising speed is 145 km / h, and the range is more than 750 km
    .
    The project partners include the Slovenian bat aircraft manufacturing company, fuel cell supplier Hydrogenics, the University of Ulm in Germany, Stuttgart Airport, and the H2fly subsidiary
