- Though this technology can't be immediately implemented in large passenger planes, it is a good advancement in the aviation industry. Maybe smaller crafts can adopt this method to encourage environment friendly future.

- From the page: "Over the last couple of months, a test pilot has taken Boeing's hydrogen fuel cell prototype up up and away!...at low altitudes and low speeds. Hydrogen fuel cells produce electricity and electrity, unfortunately, isn't very good at powering planes. So far, it's been difficult to produce enough power in such a small, light space.
In fact, the fuel cell airplane actually needed assistance from a lithium ion battery back to take off. Once in the air, however, the power came entirely from the much more energy-dense compressed hydrogen."
