The Southern Hemisphere’s First Hydrogen-Electric Aircraft Taxi, and a Proud Farewell

Photo – Bonnie, a hydrogen-electric Beechcraft Bonanza A36 aircraft, airside at Brisbane Airport. Photo: Steven Holden A small Australian company has achieved something no one in the Southern Hemisphere has done before: the Stralis Aircraft team taxied a hydrogen-electric aircraft at an international airport. The aircraft’s name is Bonnie, a Beechcraft Bonanza A36 retrofitted with Stralis Aircraft’s proprietary hydrogen-electric propulsion system. The moment was four years in the making. It’s also, for now, where the Stralis story ends. Stralis Aircraft will close following this milestone. The company proved the technology works. However, it could not close the gap between proof and commercial readiness quickly enough to sustain the business. The taxi On 29 July 2026, Stralis Chief Engineer and test pilot Steve Holden taxied Bonnie at Brisbane International Airport. The taxi was powered entirely by hydrogen fuel cells generating electricity through an electric motor. No combustion. No emissions. Only water vapor as a byproduct. It was the first hydrogen-electric aircraft taxi in the Southern Hemisphere conducted at an international airport. For the Stralis team, it was the culmination of immense hard work and belief that there is a more sustainable way to travel. “Reaching this milestone is a proud moment for all of us,” said Bob Criner, Co-founder and CEO, Stralis Aircraft. “It reflects the dedication of our hardworking team and the trust our investors, partners and supporters placed in us over the last few years. I am proud of what we built — the technology, the company, the community. I want to thank everyone who has been part of the journey.” “Brisbane Airport is proud to have hosted this groundbreaking Australian trial and congratulates the Stralis team,” said Raechel Paris, EGM Strategy, Planning & Sustainability, Brisbane Airport. “The project provided valuable insights into how hydrogen powered aircraft could operate within an airport environment and will help inform the future development of lower-emissions aviation technologies, supporting Brisbane Airport’s ongoing exploration of sustainable aviation solutions.” Why Stralis is closing The market for hydrogen-electric aviation is still forming, and Stralis reached the limits of how long it could wait. The technology proved itself. However, bringing a certified commercial aircraft to market is a long and capital-intensive journey. For most airlines today, the commercial case for hydrogen does not yet outweigh the additional costs, operational changes, and infrastructure investment it requires. Without the industry pull, raising the capital to see it through proved beyond Stralis’s reach. Hydrogen will eventually deliver a meaningful advantage for aviation. It offers greater range, increased payload, and lower operating costs in the right applications. But the wider ecosystem — liquid hydrogen supply, component maturity, regulatory pathways, and the refueling infrastructure — has not yet matured to support the transition. Unfortunately, the advantage is not currently large enough to justify the disruption required to adopt it. Stralis was also experimenting with hydrogen-propulsion technology for drones. The early tests were promising, and it offered a near-term solution with more immediate market demand. However, the company’s line remains firm, the team will wrap up the Stralis story this month. The decision to close was made with clarity, a strong sense of pride, and without regret. “There are many factors that played into this outcome, including things we could have done differently,” said Stuart Johnstone, Co-founder and CTO, Stralis Aircraft. “We continue to believe that hydrogen has a compelling long-term role in aviation. We are proud of the team, the technology, and every person who backed us. The timing wasn’t right for us, but the technology will find its moment, and we hope our work contributes to that.” Thank you to supporters Stralis would like to thank its investors, partners and supporters who backed the assignment. Stralis also extends a special thanks to all staff over the last four years who have worked tirelessly to achieve this Australian first. The mission was worthy. The technology is real. Stralis is grateful to everyone who believed in it alongside them.
Carbon Cub UL Flies from Yakima, Washington to Australia in Epic Around-the-World Adventure

Photo – David Green’s Carbon Cub UL “Dusty,” N456DG, arrives at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, during its nearly 17,000 NM journey from the United States to Australia. Photo Credit: Toru Yajima CubCrafters recently announced the successful completion of an extraordinary international journey by Australian pilot and aircraft owner David Green, who flew his new Carbon Cub UL from the CubCrafters factory in Yakima, Washington, to his home in Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia. Rather than disassembling his new aircraft and shipping it home, Green chose a considerably more adventurous delivery method: flying it there himself. Green’s Carbon Cub UL—nicknamed “Dusty”—departed Yakima on July 22 and began an epic 30-day journey across continents and oceans. One of his first stops was EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in Wisconsin, where Dusty joined the world’s largest gathering of aviation enthusiasts before continuing east toward the Atlantic. The flight included long overwater legs, rapidly changing weather, international border crossings, fuel planning, permits, customs, and the logistical challenges of keeping both pilot and aircraft moving across multiple countries. By the time Green arrived in Port Macquarie on August 20, he had logged approximately 16,800 nautical miles and nearly 144 hours of flight time. The journey is believed to represent an unofficial world record for a flight of this type by a Cub-style backcountry aircraft and adds another remarkable achievement to the growing list of accomplishments for the Carbon Cub UL. “Flying Dusty home from Yakima to Australia has been a heck of an adventure,” Green said after arriving in Port Macquarie. “Nearly 17,000 nautical miles across oceans, continents, and some incredibly remote parts of the world, and the Carbon Cub just kept going. The airplane performed beautifully, and I trusted it every step of the way.” A Backcountry Aircraft That Goes the Distance For CubCrafters, that trust is one of the most important aspects of Green’s accomplishment. While very few Carbon Cub owners will ever undertake a journey as ambitious as his, the qualities that make such a flight possible are the same ones that matter every day in backcountry aviation: reliability, durability, efficiency, and confidence in the aircraft. “We focus on reliability and safety, and as a result, this is the kind of adventure the Carbon Cub is capable of,” said Brad Damm, Vice President of CubCrafters. “David could have put the airplane in a container and shipped it to Australia. Instead, he pointed the nose toward home and flew it more than halfway around the world.” Backcountry flying routinely takes pilots far from large airports, maintenance facilities, and other support. Whether crossing an ocean or heading into a remote mountain strip, pilots need an aircraft they can trust. “Very few people are ever going to take their backcountry airplane on an adventure like David’s,” Damm continued. “But whether you’re crossing an ocean or heading into a remote strip, you need to trust your airplane to go the distance. That’s what we build at CubCrafters—aircraft you can have confidence in when the pavement, the airports, and the roads are far behind you.” The Carbon Cub UL combines CubCrafters’ proven backcountry airframe with modern lightweight construction and the turbocharged, electronically controlled Rotax 916 iS, providing strong high-altitude performance, excellent fuel efficiency, and system redundancy for operations far from conventional support. From 37,609 Feet to Australia Green’s journey is the latest in a series of extraordinary flights demonstrating the breadth of the Carbon Cub UL’s capabilities. On October 28, 2025, a Carbon Cub UL piloted by Jon Kotwicki climbed to a verified altitude of 37,609 feet over the California coast, establishing an unofficial world altitude record for Cub-type aircraft. The flight surpassed the previous 30,203-foot benchmark established by pioneering aviator Caro Bayley in a Piper PA-18 Super Cub in 1951. → Read more about the historic high-altitude flight In July 2026, another Carbon Cub UL, N21UL, demonstrated a very different kind of capability, completing the first transatlantic flight by a Carbon Cub UL. The aircraft traveled approximately 6,900 nautical miles from Idaho to Poland and accumulated 94.5 flight hours while crossing the United States, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and Europe. → Read more about the historic transatlantic flight Now Green and Dusty have taken the Carbon Cub UL even farther, flying approximately 16,800 nautical miles from Washington State to Australia. “Last year we took a Carbon Cub UL above 37,000 feet. This summer another one crossed the North Atlantic to Poland. Now David has flown one from our factory in Yakima all the way home to Australia,” Damm said. “Yet this is still an airplane that can land on a short grass strip or a gravel bar. That combination of performance, efficiency, reliability, and versatility is what makes the Carbon Cub UL such a remarkable aircraft.” The Carbon Cub UL is first and foremost a backcountry aircraft, designed for exceptional short takeoff and landing performance, low-speed handling, useful load, efficiency, and access to places conventional aircraft cannot easily reach. Green’s journey demonstrates just how far those capabilities can extend. “Records are fun, but ultimately these flights aren’t really about records,” Damm said. “They demonstrate what the airplane is capable of. Most owners aren’t going to fly at 37,000 feet or halfway around the world. But when they point their airplane toward somewhere remote, they can know they’re flying an aircraft engineered and built to go the distance.”
