Stralis Shutting Down After Hydrogen Taxi Test - Thoughts?

Well, this is a bit of a bummer. Stralis, the Brisbane-based company, is shutting down after they just did their first hydrogen-electric taxi test with a Beech A36 Bonanza. It sounds like they couldn't bridge the gap to make the tech commercially ready. They mentioned a bunch of hurdles like low airline demand, high certification costs, and the whole hydrogen supply chain being kind of immature.

I think it's a shame because hydrogen tech could really shake things up in aviation. But I guess it's not easy getting all the pieces together. The infrastructure and regulations just aren't there yet.

What do you guys think? Is hydrogen aviation just too far off to be viable right now? Or do you think we'll see more companies taking the plunge soon? I'm curious if anyone else has been keeping an eye on this hydrogen trend in aviation.

I think hydrogen's got potential, but it's a tough nut to crack right now. Seems like every step forward gets hit with a ton of roadblocks. The supply chain's a mess, and getting certified is a nightmare. Maybe once bigger players throw more money and resources into it, we might see some progress. Kinda reminds me of the early days of electric cars. Everyone thought they were too far off, but look where we are now. Anyone know if other companies are picking up where Stralis left off?
