AMSL AERO Secures $3M Australian Government Funding To Pioneer Liquid Hydrogen AAM VTOL Aviation For Remote And Regional Australia

AMSL Aero , the developer of the world-leading hydrogen-electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft Vertiia, has secured $3 million in grant funding from the Federal Government to develop and demonstrate liquid hydrogen-powered aircraft for regional and remote Australia.

The two-year project, called Liquid Hydrogen Powered Aircraft for Regional and Remote Australia, is worth $7.56 million in total. It was awarded by the Australian Government Department of Industry Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P) Program.

AMSL Aero will collaborate with liquid hydrogen company Fabrum, Monash University, and Deakin University to address the technical, regulatory, and safety challenges of hydrogen-powered eVTOL aircraft in real-world environments.

The project will focus on designing safe liquid hydrogen refueling systems, testing advanced fuel measurement and power distribution during various stages of flight of Vertiia, securing evidence for the development of national regulatory pathways, and demonstrating refueling procedures integrated with aircraft systems.

AMSL Aero CEO Dr Adriano Di Pietro said: “This funding points to the Australian Government’s support for our mission to revolutionize air mobility for regional and remote Australia. The project objectives reflect our cooperative leadership across the sector and community to decarbonize aviation.”

Vertiia is a leader in the new generation of aircraft that take off and land like a helicopter but fly fast and smoothly like a fixed-wing aero plane. AMSL Aero is in an elite group of top-tier global companies to fly an eVTOL in untethered horizontal flight successfully.

 AMSL Aero Vertiia Fact Sheet  

• Vertiia is a highly efficient hybrid long-range zero-emissions VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft due to its unique combination of aerodynamic efficiency and structural design
• Vertiia takes off and lands vertically like a helicopter, and flies fast and efficiently like a fixed-wing aero plane. It is safer, quieter, and more efficient than a helicopter
• Vertiia has the potential to operate with zero carbon emissions by using green hydrogen
• The initial civil aircraft will be certified for piloted flights, with autonomy systems installed for future remote piloted applications
• Vertiia will have a cost to operate in the longer term comparable with short-range (domestic) airliners but has the advantage of taking passengers from door to door due to not requiring a runway
• Vertiia’s light air ambulance setup will seat a pilot, a paramedic and/or doctor and patient, or it can be configured to carry passengers (1 pilot + 4pax) or freight
• Vertiia will cruise at 300km/h, and its range will be up to 1,000km on hydrogen power
• AMSL Aero holds international patents for Vertiia, protecting its core technological features, including its unique wing tilting mechanism, combined with its box wing design and flight control system
• Vertiia is an eight electric motor tilting wing aircraft that can operate from a helipad or similar size landing site
• Vertiia has the capability to connect regional hubs, and, due to the small number of seats, it can conduct on-demand (unscheduled) services to reduce excess capacity (empty seats)
