The plane, which used propellers, flew at a speed of 100 kilometres (62 miles) an hour for about 20 minutes at an altitude of about 1,000 metres (3,300 feet) using only the hydrogen battery for power, Boeing said in a statement.

Call me a pessimist, but this looks a lot like the Diamond Katana series of single engine aircraft, and the link to the Yahoo News article is “not found”.

I haven’t done any further digging.

Thanks for the update, Yahoo had removed the link it seems… However, Times Online still features the story (where it probably was to begin with).

Call me an optimist, but I sure hope this could lead somewhere in the future to ensure a better environment…
