What is the HYSKY Society?
HYSKY Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to decarbonizing aviation and aerospace using hydrogen. It’s a community that welcomes innovators from all corners of flight — whether that’s eVTOLs, advanced air mobility, fixed-wing aircraft, UAVs, drones, WIG craft, or even spacecraft. The mission? Simple. If it defies gravity and runs on hydrogen fuel, it’s part of the vision for sustainable flight. HYSKY acts as a bridge, connecting the dots between hydrogen and aviation by bringing together people, technology, and infrastructure needed to make zero-carbon flight a reality.
Main Benefits of HYSKY’s Approach
By uniting every piece of the hydrogen aviation puzzle, HYSKY enables collaboration across the entire value chain. Here’s what that looks like:
- Connecting hydrogen production, logistics, and infrastructure with storage, fuel cells, and aircraft development
- Fostering partnerships among innovators, engineers, and operators
- Driving forward zero-carbon flight technologies and standards
- Providing education and training to ensure safety and compliance
- Creating a platform for knowledge sharing and ecosystem growth
The Hydrogen Fire Safety Short Course
One of HYSKY’s standout initiatives is the Hydrogen Fire Safety Short Course — a comprehensive program that dives deep into the hazards, standards, and emergency practices essential for safely integrating hydrogen into aviation. Covering everything from hydrogen’s unique fire properties to codes, detection technologies, firefighting, and emergency response, this course equips students with the know-how to tackle fire risks in hydrogen aviation systems. It’s a must for anyone involved in this emerging field.
Who Should Take This Course?
This training is designed for a wide range of professionals, including aircraft developers, safety engineers, regulators, airport firefighters, hydrogen producers, fueling operators, and MRO professionals. Basically, if you’re preparing for the safe integration of hydrogen into aviation — or just curious about it — this course is for you. It’s also perfect for pilots, engineers, managers, and compliance officers looking to boost their safety literacy in this cutting-edge area.
Course Delivery and Learning Experience
The course is delivered live via Zoom on the HYSKY Connect platform, but don’t worry if you can’t catch every session in real-time. All lectures become available on-demand within 1–2 days, so you can stream the replay anytime, 24/7. Plus, slides are downloadable after each lecture. And between sessions? The instructors are just an email away, ready to answer technical questions and keep the conversation going. It’s learning that fits your schedule — and your pace.
Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
