Germany-based edm aerotec has certified its CoAX-2D as a Light Sport Aircraft under the German airworthiness authority. The two companies are collaborating to bring the CoAX-2D to the US market. Edm aerotec CEO Anja Ernst said the two companies would continue to develop the helicopter independently, but would also work together. “Both partners can continue to develop and complement their know-how—this is the perfect prerequisite for future developments,” he said.
Piasecki has been working on its own PA-890 helicopter with a hydrogen fuel cell. It said the first test flights should happen next year. PIAC has procured two CoAX-2D helicopters for engineering and flight evaluations to support its research. According to PIAC, the hydrogen version of the CoAX-2D will consist of a battery, hydrogen tank, power inverter, electric motor, computer controller, four cooling fans and an oxygen tank.
