SEA CHEETAH Unveils Plans for Hydrogen-Electric Wing-in-Ground-Effect Vessel in New Partnership with H3 DYNAMICS

Miami, (FL, USA) and Toulouse (France), September 30, 2024 –  US-based Sea Cheetah Corporation has entered a strategic partnership with Toulouse-based hydrogen solutions expert H3 Dynamics, a winner of the Monaco Prize for Innovation in Renewable Hydrogen and Transportation, to develop the world’s first hydrogen-electric wing-in ground effect vessel and an eco-system of fueling points.

 

Sea Cheetah provides a transportation ecosystem centered around its state-of-the-art Wing-in-Ground-Effect (WIGE) vessel, which leverages proven technology to travel in and outside of ground effect at speeds exceeding 135 knts (250 kph / 155 mph).  Flying a few meters above water, Sea Cheetah vessels connect coastal and island regions at a fraction of the time and cost of existing maritime transportation. Sea Cheetah stands out through its unmatched payload capacity and extended operating range.

 

By working closely with H3 Dynamics, Sea Cheetah will boost its hydrogen-electric propulsion system capability and achieve a fuel economy far beyond fossil powered systems.

H3 Dynamics Boosts H2 Flights by 3X by Moving to Liquid H2 in New Partnership with Hylium

 H3 Dynamics and Hylium have joined forces to further boost the performance of zero emission hydrogen-electric flight, combining the strengths of Hylium’s liquid hydrogen storage and liquification solutions, and H3 Dynamics’ distributed hydrogen-electric propulsion nacelles, ultra-light fuel cells, and hydrogen drone charging stations.

 

Moving to liquid hydrogen represents a significant capability leap for small electric-powered unmanned systems. Cryogenic (liquid) hydrogen stores 3 times more energy as compressed gas in the same given volume. This means delivery drones will be able to fly further, mapping and ISR missions could be done on much bigger scales.
