As part of the hydrogen day organized by the Gers Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) this Friday April 26, Florian Pasquiet explains to participants about the project to develop a four-seater hydrogen plane. “We hope to be able to fly it next year and request a certificate after that,” explained the company’s structural design manager Toulouse. “We are mainly focused on flying schools.”

All the small groups were able to interact with the players present, including Beyond Aero, who, last February, made the first flight of an electric plane powered by hydrogen in France.
In the same visiting group, there are several manufacturers of industrial buildings, especially for aviation companies. “It’s important to have an understanding of the sector, from production to end use,” says Thibaut Genre-Grandpierre, director of development at the Toulouse offices of Global Solutions & Engineering. “We need to know the region if we have to build buildings for it.”
Construction, printing, aeronautics… Many trades are represented among the participants on the day. A wish from the CCI, which aimed, by organizing the event, at Gers businessmen of small and medium businesses but also larger ones. The high attendance “shows that the entrepreneurs of Gers are asking questions about how hydrogen can be the solution to the energy crisis and global warming,” assures Maxime Deschuyteneer, business spokesperson and sustainable development consultant at the CCI “Our idea was to create a movement and a cluster to start attracting major manufacturers.
