| HyPoint | HyPoint is pioneering zero-emission aviation, aeronautics, and urban air mobility. The company's NASA award-winning hydrogen fuel cell system features an innovative air-cooling and oxygen supply system to offer aircraft makers unprecedented energy performance. The system currently achieves at least 2,000 watts per kilogram of specific power —more than triple the power-to-weight ratio of traditional (liquid-cooled) hydrogen fuel cells systems — and up to 1,500 watt-hours per kilogram of energy density, enabling longer-distance journeys. HyPoint’s lightweight, climate-independent, extended-lifespan system dramatically increases operational time and utilization rate while decreasing total cost of ownership by as much as 50% relative to turbine-powered rotorcraft. The company was founded in Silicon Valley in 2019 and is backed by leading venture capital firms and individual investors.
