NEWBORN Project featured in FlightGlobal and AINonline articles

In October 2025, PROJECT NEWBORN was featured in two articles — in FlightGlobal and AINonline — highlighting the progress and ambition behind the project’s hydrogen fuel cell powertrain initiative for aviation. Led by Honeywell’s Brno R&D center, the project is advancing toward full system integration by the end of this year, with ground testing planned for 2026 and a demonstrator flight targeted for 2028.

In both articles, Ondrej Kotaba, technical lead of the project, shares detailed insights into the development process, technical challenges, and the broader implications of hydrogen propulsion for future aircraft certification and sustainability. His perspective offers a valuable look into how aerospace-grade hydrogen systems are being designed from the ground up to meet real-world operational demands.

We highly recommend these reads to anyone interested in the future of clean aviation:
