H3 Dynamics and Hylium Industries Join Forces to Progress Liquid Hydrogen-Electric Flight Capabilities
16.1.2023 18:07:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
H3 Dynamics and Hylium Industries have joined forces to boost the performance of zero emission hydrogen-electric flight, by 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 new hydrogen drone refueling 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 a much bigger scale.
To illustrate the jump in performance, the same 25kg hydrogen-electric propulsion UAV demonstrated by H3 Dynamics last July in France, will be able to fly over 900km with a single fill. With pressurized hydrogen, that range reduces to 400km, which is still 3 times more than a battery-powered equivalent.
“When combined, our global best-in-class solutions achieve the global performance limit for low-altitude electric powered flight” says Taras Wankewycz, CEO H3 Dynamics. “We are proud to be working with Hylium to move hydrogen-electric flight propulsion to the next level”
Now all the various forms of hydogen drones and UAVs powered by H3 Dynamics including hydrogen airships, multi-rotors, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), have a way to further boost flight durations by another factor of 3 over pressurized hydrogen systems, or a factor of 10 compared to batteries.
H3 Dynamics also recently announced a first hydrogen production, and automated hydrogen refueling mobile station for hydrogen UAV operations. Named H2FIELD the mobile station produces hydrogen from water and delivers compressed hydrogen gas tanks to the operator with little human intervention and no required hydrogen expertise. H3 Dynamics and Hylium’s partnership will upgrade the station so that it can fill liquid hydrogen tanks.
Developed in South Korea, Hylium’s breakthrough technology provides one of the most advanced solutions and has already been proven in a number of applications. South Korea is also leading the development for LH2 standardisation. One local proposal was accepted as a draft standard by a global ISO committee.
Hylium and H3 Dynamics technologies are currently being integrated to attempt a 3,300km crossing of the South Atlantic, in a program led by ISAE SUPAERO Toulouse, one of the world’s leading aerospace engineering schools. H3 Dynamics’ team developed a special fuselage design that can store a small LH2 tank and manage the thermal behavior of all the propulsion sub-systems.
LH2 technology will also be a next step in H3 Dynamics’ hydrogen-electric propulsor nacelles roadmap. A first twin engine cargo drone powered by these self-contained nacelles took off in the sky of Paris during the summer 2022, using 2 compressed hydrogen tanks – one in each nacelle. The goal now will be to switch them out for liquid hydrogen tanks with a lighter construction and a higher fuel capacity.

Wolters Kluwer brings AI-powered drafting directly into the Libra legal workspace7.10.2026 10:01:00 EEST | Press release
Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory today announced the launch of Drafting, a major new capability within Libra by Wolters Kluwer, the company’s legal AI workspace. Drafting enables legal professionals to create, edit, review, and collaborate on Word documents directly within the workspace, reducing the need to switch between separate applications throughout the drafting process. Together with Libra's existing Word Add-in, which is already widely used by legal professionals today, the new capability provides customers with a second, fully integrated way to draft their documents. Depending on their preferences and workflow, they can either remain within the Microsoft Word environment or work end-to-end in the Libra legal AI workspace. At the core of Drafting is the Libra Editor, a Word-style editing environment that enables users to work directly on legal documents while leveraging Libra’s AI capabilities. Lawyers can draft new documents, revise existing content, collaborate with colleagu
High Awareness, Low Adoption: New Survey Reveals Nearly Half of Security Professionals Still Rely on Passwords7.10.2026 10:01:00 EEST | Press release
A new survey from Yubico (NASDAQ STOCKHOLM: YUBICO), the pioneer of phishing-resistant authentication and creator of the original passkey, the YubiKey, and Okta, Inc., reveals a significant gap between security knowledge and everyday practice. While security leaders overwhelmingly recognize phishing-resistant passkeys as more secure than passwords, nearly half still rely on vulnerable login methods in their daily work. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261007969823/en/ Conducted by Talker Research, the annual 2026 Global State of Authentication* report surveyed nearly 2,000 cybersecurity and IT professionals across nine countries. The report highlights that cybersecurity's primary vulnerability is no longer a lack of education or awareness, but a structural problem driven by operational friction and outdated onboarding defaults. Organizations cannot rely solely on additional security awareness training to resolv
