Phase II CFD results are in ✅
We iterated our bi-lobe envelope geometry Mk1 → Mk2 → Mk3 to quantify how the center “cleavage” interface drives turbulence + parasitic drag.

Key takeaway: Mk1 is lowest drag overall, while Mk2 cleans up the center flow and is slightly best per-volume at 40 km/h in our AWS hi-res set.

New CFD update from our dual-hull airship program: a FluidX3D speed sweep at 10/30/40/50 kph, centered around our 40 kph design target. Great to see the flow behavior side-by-side.

Bye-bye jittery servos. We just ran a UART-over-fiber link between two Arduinos - galvanic isolation, zero EMI, and ready for MQTT hubs in Phase II.

In Phase I, long signal cables (servos, ESC control) ran alongside high-amps power wiring. That cocktail gave us EMI headaches - jittery servos (the “Parkins...

We are famous! :)

A “new chapter” has opened for the hydrogen-powered airship, built in Newport, first flown at Kippa-Ring and "lost" over Moreton Bay.

Our hydrogen airship flew.

Not everything went as planned, but we proved more than we hoped.

This marks the end of Phase I — and the beginning of what's next.
Thank you to everyone who believed in this idea.

🌤️ Perfect weather ahead for lift-off!
We're all set to conclude Phase I of our airship project with the demo flight this Sunday, 25th May. With sunny skies and just a light breeze forecasted (see below), it's shaping up to be an ideal morning for a historic moment in clean aviation. :P

Just wrapped up a great trip to Sydney for the Smart Energy Expo 2025!
We pitched H2Use in the Hydrogen Pitch Battle and shared our latest render of the Airbender airship — it was a real highlight. 🌤️

We didn’t take home the trophy, but the experience (and the crowd!) made us feel like winners. Huge thanks to the organisers and everyone who came up to chat.
