Airbus has made a substantial stride towards zero-emission aviation with the successful bench test of a 1.2MW hydrogen fuel cell, proving the viability of hydrogen fuel cell engines for their ambitious ZeroE program. Utilizing hydrogen not just for propulsion but also for non-propulsive systems, the HyPower project aims to power onboard systems such as air conditioning and lighting, potentially reducing an aircraft’s kerosene consumption by up to 5%. With successful experiments and ongoing projects like NPE, Airbus is pioneering a hydrogen ecosystem in aviation, although the transition to a fully hydrogen-powered aviation industry presents complex challenges that need robust solutions. … Continue reading ZeroE Possibilities: Airbus’s Hydrogen Quest for a Greener Tomorrow
