so it's electric?
is Hydrogen (H2) safe?
Hydrogen burns with a clear flame, and immediately floats away from a spill, unlike conventional liquid fuels.
As Hydrogen is odorless it is recommended that a hydrogen detector be installed inside parking garages in case of leaks.
autonomous, semi-autonomous, remote piloting.. what’s the difference?
I notice that FLUTR uses large rotors, compared to lots of smaller propellers or jets. Why?
how is H2 sustainable?
if not electric, what do you use for power?
It will be later certified for use with other bio-fuels (ethanol/bio-gasoline etc). Bio-fuels are widely available in most countries.
sustainable fuel price and availability?
Sustainable fuels are becoming more avaiable and lower in price every year.
Additionally we can deliver a 1000litre fuel cube to your garage if you/ your company elect to own a FLUTR.
