PictureLuftPad Concept from LuftCar
Orlando FL based LuftCar’s CEO Santh Sathya announced yesterday that the company has signed MOUs with two airports in Germany. The names of the airports will not be revealed due to strategic reasons and will be referred to as Airport A and Airport B. 

LuftCar will develop a prototype for the hydrogen powered air and road eVTOL vehicle at Airport A, targeting European market. A production facility to serve European markets could also be located near the vicinity of Airport A. LuftCar has been steadily building a supply chain in Germany.

LuftCar will demonstrate use cases for last mile cargo delivery, regional transportation, hydrogen refueling and cohabitation with commercial airlines in Airport B. The US based startup will also help Airport B demonstrate a regional transportation hub for LuftCar.
 
Santh Sathya released LuftCar’s vertiport concept, which is called LuftPad (TM). Speaking at the Vertical Flight Society’s H2-Aero Symposium at Long Beach CA on March 28th, 2022, Santh stated that ‘LuftPads are vertiports with hydrogen refueling capability for electric aircrafts, which can also support road transportation and utility power. We will leverage existing infrastructure to build LuftPads every 50 miles radius. Our hydrogen powered multi modal vehicle makes it unnecessary to build too many vertiports within the urban environment’.
 
LuftCar is looking forward to enhancing its presence in Germany.

LuftCar's impact on hydrogen, and thus the environment

6/21/2021

0 Comments

 
By: Tyler Lewis
The industry developed by LuftCar and urban air mobility vehicles will develop the urban and, eventually, the global hydrogen infrastructure. Just like the Tesla superchargers, hydrogen refueling sites will be part of our renewable future. Currently, hydrogen is hard to store and expensive to make; however, hydrogen is energy-dense and burns cleanly – reacting with oxygen to create water and release energy. 
There are two ways to make hydrogen: via Electrolysis and Steam Reforming. Steam Reforming is not environmentally friendly, and it produces large amounts of methane gas. Electrolysis uses electricity to separate hydrogen from water molecules; it's environmentally friendly but incurs a net loss of energy. The increased relevance of hydrogen fuel will result in the development and integration of Electrolysis, hydrogen storage, and distribution infrastructure. LuftCar will help develop this infrastructure as it increases the demand for hydrogen. Furthermore, LuftCar plays a large part in decreasing global emissions since it promotes hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen has the potential to be used in local and commercial air transport, areas that electric batteries currently do not have the physical capacity to be a scalable option.
For air travel, hydrogen is the solution. Meeting the 2050 climate accords will not be easy without the implementation of green commercial air travel. Investment in hydrogen battery solutions will ensure our future on this planet by supporting the development of renewable air transportation. Investment in LuftCar is the perfect stepping stone for the development of clean aerial transportation. Luftcar will be able to act as a transport vehicle for healthcare, military, and economic purposes making the vehicle a reliable platform for investment into the integration, and development of hydrogen power into the future of large-scale transportation. LuftCar's Stable quad motor platform proves its versatility.
