Sirius Aviation AG Revealed the Sirius Jet, a Liquid Hydrogen eVTOL. Forecasting Demonstration Flights in 2025, the Company Faces Challenges with Its Vector Thrust System and the Logistical Complexity of Liquid Hydrogen, Seeking Certification by 2028.

The Swiss startup Sirius Aviation AG is about to revolutionize the aviation sector with the launch of the Sirius Jet, a liquid hydrogen-powered electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle. Promising to fly at impressive speeds of up to 520 km/h, the jet features a deviated thrust vector system powered by 20 electric fans and boasts a range capacity of 1,800 kilometers.

State of the Art: How More Than 100 Engineers Turn Ideas into Reality

According to information released by the company, a team of over 100 engineers has been intensely dedicated to the project since 2021.

With the first demonstration flights scheduled for 2025.

The Crucial Step for the Commercial Success of the Sirius Jet

The planned routes for the Sirius Jet include routes such as from Los Angeles to San Francisco (USA), from London (England) to Berlin (Germany), from Melbourne to Sydney (Australia), and from Beijing (China) to Seoul (South Korea).

However, innovation brings significant challenges.

The deviated thrust system, composed of modest-sized fans, could result in lower operational efficiency during takeoffs and landings compared to models using larger propellers and rotors.

Moreover, Sirius faces additional complications due to the use of liquid hydrogen as a power source.

Although it is a promising alternative for clean aviation in short and regional distances, liquid hydrogen is a cutting-edge technology that has yet to be certified for commercial use.

Sirius’ proposal to maintain liquid hydrogen at extremely low temperatures, below -250º C, during all phases of distribution, refueling, and flight, adds a significant logistical challenge to the project.

The Crucial Step for the Commercial Success of the Sirius Jet

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows in Argentine Patagonia the exact point where a colossal glacier, a turquoise-blue lake, and a greenish arm of water meet, creating one of the rarest and most impressive landscapes in the region.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

A refrigerator in the middle of the street in Poland is feeding those who are hungry and teaching children to share: the project already has 1,600 refrigerators spread across the country, and people leave soup, bread, and beets for strangers to take for free.

Giant turbines on the seabed of Scotland have been generating clean energy for nearly a decade without interruption, and now the big promise is that tidal power could solve the biggest problem of solar and wind energy: the unpredictability that no one has been able to overcome until today.

More than 3,900 Brazilian municipalities are unable to pay their own bills, and yet two city halls located just 700 meters apart continue to operate separately, each with a full structure.

The decision to plant food 10,000 years ago came at a high cost for the human body, and now Harvard has proven that this choice altered hundreds of genes and left marks that still cause modern diseases.
