This innovative pod configuration features six standalone turboprop motors based on a distributed hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system and removable fixtures for quick assembly and disassembly.

Two hybrid-hydrogen turbofan engines provide thrust. The liquid hydrogen storage and distribution system is located behind the rear pressure bulkhead.

Swing testing involves suspending an object like a pendulum. During this test, the AlbatrossONE demonstrator tested its mass properties.

Tether testing involves suspending an object, which resembles a plane-on-a-string toy. During this test, the AlbatrossONE demonstrator put its handling qualities to the test.

Van testing involves a makeshift wind tunnel to investigate wing aerodynamics. During this test, the AlbatrossONE demonstrator tested its folding wing-tip release and recovery mechanism.

The AlbatrossONE demonstrator has successfully achieved a new milestone: a “gate-to-gate” demonstration with wing-tips that are 75% longer than those tested in the first phase.
