Hydrogen AviationFrom cryogenic storage to commercialization — the full stack, taught by the people building it.

8 courses 33 lessons ~23 hours of instruction Level: Introductory–Intermediate Real expert lectures Graded assessments + transcripts

Hydrogen is the most credible path to genuinely low-carbon flight — and the hardest to store, move, certify, and fund. This specialization builds the picture end to end across eight courses: the fuel and its physics, the powertrain that turns it into thrust, where it comes from, how it gets certified and made safe, how real aircraft and airports use it, and how the businesses around it capture value. Every lesson is built around a recorded talk from the HYSKY Monthly series, wrapped in Coursera-convention structure with authored diagrams, graded quizzes, and full transcripts.

The Specialization

FoundationsCourses 1–3
→
Course 1

Liquid Hydrogen Storage & Handling

Why liquid hydrogen is the credible low-carbon path — the storage physics NASA learned the hard way, and how to handle cryogenic H₂ safely on the ground.

5 lessons~205 minIntroductory–Intermediate
 →
Course 2

Hydrogen Fuel Cells & Propulsion

How hydrogen becomes electric thrust — the fuel-cell powertrain and aviation’s hardest trade-offs: power per kilogram, waste-heat rejection, and catalyst durability.

3 lessons~120 minIntermediate
 →
Course 3

Hydrogen Production & Supply

Where aviation’s hydrogen actually comes from and how it reaches the aircraft — from on-site reforming to the emerging clean-hydrogen supply chain.

4 lessons~150 minIntroductory–Intermediate
Certification & SafetyCourse 4
→
Course 4

Certification, Regulation & Safety

The policy that funds hydrogen flight, the regulatory pathway that lets it carry passengers, and the testing and systems-engineering discipline that makes it airworthy.

7 lessons~305 minIntroductory–Intermediate
Applications & Case StudiesCourses 5–7
→
Course 5

Aircraft & eVTOL Case Studies

How real companies engineer hydrogen aircraft — from roadable eVTOLs to record-setting liquid-hydrogen flights, told by the founders and engineers who built them.

4 lessons~180 minIntroductory–Intermediate
 →
Course 6

Ground & Airport Infrastructure

Hydrogen only flies if the airport can fuel it: the supply and delivery chain, on-site storage and liquefaction, and refueling and dispensing at scale.

2 lessons~90 minIntermediate
 →
Course 7

Hydrogen Drones & Uncrewed Systems

How uncrewed aircraft break past the battery endurance wall — carrying hydrogen as compressed gas, cryogenic liquid, or a chemical carrier and converting it in a fuel cell.

4 lessons~160 minIntermediate
CommercializationCourse 8
→
Course 8

Business, IP & Investment Strategy

Funding, protecting, and scaling the technology: NASA’s roadmap, the scale of the 2050 transition, how public capital is staged, and how companies capture value through IP strategy.

4 lessons~180 minIntroductory–Intermediate

How the specialization is built

The eight courses trace one arc — from the fuel itself, through the machines that use it, to the rules and economics that let it scale:

Foundations
The fuel, the powertrain, and the supply that make hydrogen flight physically possible.
Safety
The certification pathway, regulation, and systems engineering that make it airworthy.
Applications
Real aircraft, airports, and uncrewed systems putting hydrogen to work today.
Commercialization
The investment, policy, and IP strategy that turn technology into an enterprise.

Each lesson wraps an expert’s real recorded talk with Coursera-convention structure: measurable objectives, short segmented video with captions, authored technical diagrams rendered deterministically with correct labels, formative in-video checks, a graded quiz, a rubric-scored assignment, and a full transcript. Produced by the HYSKY Course Factory and gated through human subject-matter review before publish.

Pilot preview for partner review. Lessons drafted from recorded talks are marked for a subject-matter-expert accuracy pass; a small number of episodes are listed “coming soon” pending source recovery. Facts are represented faithfully to each talk, with clearly labeled “as of 2026” updates where the field has moved.
