Liquid-Hydrogen Drone Demonstration Takes Off at Rotterdam The Hague Airport

The Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre has successfully flown its HYDRA-II liquid-hydrogen drone at Rotterdam The Hague Airport in South Holland. This impressive feat brings a full hydrogen supply chain to life right at an operational commercial airport.

Partnership Overview: A Collaboration Driving Clean Hydrogen Innovation

This exciting project is a joint effort involving the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre, Rotterdam The Hague Airport, and the European TULIPS – Green Airports programme. Together, they’re making strides in line with the EU’s commitment to sustainable aviation. With a blend of research talent, airport know-how, and a focus on green airport frameworks, they aim to streamline hydrogen delivery, storage, and fueling right on-site. It’s a pretty cool concept: testing a hydrogen-powered drone in real airport settings to work out every detail—from when the cryogenic tankers arrive to how everything operates safely on the ground.
