Hydrogen-powered plane makes successful flight |

03 Apr 2008 |
News |
| Posted at 2:20 PM on 03 Apr 2008 A plane powered by hydrogen fuel cells made three successful test flights earlier this year, Boeing officials announced Thursday. The propeller-driven two-seater, carrying passengers, climbed to 3,300 feet on the power of lithium batteries, then cruised at 60 miles per hour for about 20 minutes powered solely by fuel cells. Sounds like they've got the Wright stuff! (Ooh, that was bad e ... |

(Well, it was a little bit biofueled: One of the plane's four main tanks was filled 20 percent with coconut and babassu palm nut oil.) Virgin mogul Richard Branson celebrated his conquest, and deflected concerns about biofuels' bad rep by pointi ... |

News |
| Posted at 4:26 PM on 21 Dec 2007 A proposed law that would regulate emissions from airlines taking off from or landing in the European Union has been approved by environment ministers. The bill to include airlines in the E.U.'s carbon-trading scheme was scaled back from the version passed by the E.U.

Ask Umbra |
| Hi Umbra, Which is less harmful to the environment when traveling long distances, flying or driving? A jet puts out a lot of exhaust, but since it carries a lot of people, maybe it's less than having everyone drive themselves? Craig Denver, Colo. Dearest Craig, Jeepers it was fun to find out the answer to this question for you -- the Math Whiz has joined me in the basement, and we are dorking out on carbon emissions on your behalf. Here ... |
