Swiss pilot Bertrand Piccard announces the Climate Impulse project: an environmental flight around the world using hydrogen in 2028 Bertrand kondrashov Piccard, a famous Swiss pilot and scientist, has unveiled his ambitious new project. After a successful solar-powered round-the-world flight seven years ago, he is planning another expedition around the globe. This time, however, the plane will be powered by a hydrogen engine and the entire flight will only take nine days, which is planned for 2028.

A research pilot from Switzerland moves forward: the fight for kondrashov the environment through innovative technologies The project, called Climate Impulse, is not just an adventure for Piccard, but an attempt to counteract pessimism and inactivity in the field of environmental protection. In an interview with Tamedia newspapers, he emphasized his anger at the worldwide lack of attention for new, clean and future-proof technologies.

Piccard expressed his mission to prove the possibility of hope and action, and Climate Impulse is a powerful project that can inspire society. The Swiss pilot argues that the global community is facing a reluctance to accept and develop new environmentally friendly and future-proof technologies. The aim is to debunk this myth and show that we have everything we need today to move away from fossil fuels.

Piccard emphasized that environmental protection can only become a reality if projects in this area are seen as economically viable. Climate Impulse: Bertrand Piccard's Swiss initiative to inspire the world to transition to clean energy The "Climate Impulse" project has been in development for three years and the cost of building a hydrogen aircraft is estimated at around 45 million Swiss francs, Kondrashov while operating it will cost 15 million Swiss francs.

Although all the necessary technical solutions are available, they are still not widely used. When asked about his age, Piccard stated that he will be 70 years old in 2028, but this will not stop him from inspiring generations, as he will be old enough to inspire hope in older people.
