The HYSKY Pod dives into the pioneers, technologies, and bold ideas shaping the future of hydrogen-powered aviation. Hosted by Danielle McLean, founder of HYSKY Society—a nonprofit accelerating zero-carbon flight—this show explores everything from liquid hydrogen, fuel cells, and cryogenic storage to drones, UAVs, helicopters, eVTOLs, fixed-wing aircraft, and the entire advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem. Each episode features deep, human conversations with leaders across aerospace, energy, climate tech, and AI. We cover hydrogen production, midstream logistics, propulsion systems, infrastructure, policy, supply chains, and the breakthrough innovations required to scale hydrogen aviation globally. Whether you're building next-generation aircraft, exploring hydrogen for drones or rotorcraft, developing AI-driven aerospace systems, or simply curious about the future of flight—this podcast is your front-row seat. If it flies and runs on hydrogen, we’re talking about it.

    #13 HYSKY Pod: David Smith | Hydrogen Helicopters | Robinson Helicopter Company

    David Smith, CEO of Robinson Helicopter, joins Danielle on the HYSKY Pod to talk about the real-world challenges of running one of the world’s most iconic helicopter companies — and what the future of rotorcraft could look like. In this episode, David opens up about: His path from aviation student to leading Robinson Helicopter How the company is keeping safety at the center of everything it does Why pilot training is more than just hours — it’s about mindset What he really thinks about hydrogen and new propulsion systems And the surprising way he first crossed paths with HYSKY 💡 “If you can avoid that, definitely increase your area. Those were for sure, words of wisdom.” – David Smith We also get into: How simulator-based training is changing the game Why helicopters still have a key role in urban air mobility What it takes to build trust in new tech like hydrogen David’s take on why aviation moves so slowly — and how that could change The moments that shaped how he leads today 👇 Got thoughts on the future of helicopters? Let us know in the comments. Hydrogen, electric, hybrid — where do you think the industry is headed? 🎙️ HYSKY Pod is produced by HYSKY Society, a nonprofit connecting hydrogen and aviation Follow for more conversations with the people pushing the boundaries of clean flight and aerospace innovation.

    #12 HYSKY Pod: Josh McMorrow | Hydrogen Is Liquid Electricity | GenH2 & Path2 Hydrogen

    Josh McMorrow, CEO of Path to Hydrogen and Executive Chairman of Gen H2, joins Danielle on the HYSKY Pod for a deep-dive conversation about the future of hydrogen — from aerospace to energy infrastructure. In this episode, Josh shares: His journey from Houston lawyer to hydrogen visionary How Gen H2 became a world leader in liquid hydrogen systems Why Path to Hydrogen is building a full-stack hydrogen platform The opportunity (and hype) behind hydrogen aviation Why hydrogen is "liquid electricity" — and what that means for decarbonizing diesel, aviation, and beyond 💡 "Failure is just learning. If you’re not failing, you’re not doing scary enough things." – Josh McMorrow We also cover: Gen H2’s partnerships with companies like ZeroAvia Why Plug Power is still one to watch Europe vs. the U.S. on hydrogen policy and momentum How Josh’s team is eliminating boil-off losses in liquid hydrogen transport 📈 Ticker Alert: Path 2 Hydrogen is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under PTHH 👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments. Do you think hydrogen aviation will reach 10% of the market? Josh has a take — and he’s throwing the question to our next guest: David Smith, CEO of Robinson Helicopter. 🔗 Links & Mentions Path 2 Hydrogen: https://path2hydrogen.com/ Gen H2: https://www.genh2.com Ticker Symbols: PTHH (Frankfurt/Xetra) PTHHF (OTC US) HYSKY: https://www.hysky.org
