Queensland’s Stralis Aircraft has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Joint Research Centre for Electric Architecture at Akita University and Akita Prefectural University to test its hydrogen electric propulsion technology in Japan.
Announced as part of a Queensland trade mission, the partnership will develop joint R&D programmes and training modules for aviation engineers.
