APUS i-2 is the first emission-free aircraft for daily use. It is a four-seat Normal-Category (CS-23) aircraft with 1,800 kg MTOM, a range of 800 km and a maximum cruise speed of 150 KTAS – competitive performance data comparable to most modern four-seat aircraft. Employing a hydrogen fuel-cell as its primary source of energy makes APUS i-2 100% emission-free, i.e. zero CO2, zero NOx, zero noise – nothing less than a revolution in emission-free flying. This is achieved through APUS’s patented structurally integrated hydrogen storage system, known as TubeStruct™. It permits up to 25% higher specific energy density vs. standard hydrogen fuel tanks and 10X better energy density than fully-electric aircraft, all while avoiding the use of rare minerals that batteries do.
