Aerospace Innovations’ Post

We believe there is a massive need for people to reconnect physically without a drop of fossil fuel or carbon dioxide, not being captured, so what path Sustainable Aviation takes is up to us providing the technology and fast.

Airbus VP, Zero Emission Aircraft, Glenn Llewellyn, recently sat down with our Founder and CEO, Val Miftakhov, and provided insights into the #ZEROe program activities, covering 3 main areas: developing the ecosystem (including delivering the large quantities of hydrogen needed at airports) and propulsion technology development (e.g., making fuel cell systems lighter and more power-dense), among a number of other topics.✈️ Check out the snippet in the video or hear from Glenn on what Airbus is working on underneath the ZEROe program here: https://lnkd.in/egwaaPi7 #zeroemission #hydrogen #aviation

Hydrogen-powered flight is on the horizon, and today's talk by Cranfield Aerospace Solutions, hosted by the Royal Aeronautical Society was truly inspiring to me. It's incredible to learn how companies pioneering hydrogen flight are also the ones who are helping to set industry standards and regulation. Starting with gaseous hydrogen and then scaling up to liquid hydrogen is a critical step in making sustainable flight a reality. Exciting times for the aviation industry!

In #8 of Zag Air’s Radar series, Jenny Kavanagh, Chief Strategy Officer at Cranfield Aerospace Solutions, shares how hydrogen fuel cell technology is shaping the future of sustainable aviation and the Advanced Air Mobility sector. “Hydrogen is the most viable solution for true decarbonisation. It offers a pathway to zero-emission aviation with energy density and scalability that batteries alone can’t match,” says Kavanagh. Cranfield Aerospace is currently designing the world’s most power-dense hydrogen fuel cell system and working closely with regulators in the UK. #AAM #ZagAir Read more: https://lnkd.in/eFb2cE46

At Cranfield University we are shaping the future of #aviation! Cranfield University’s Role in Advancing Hydrogen in Aviation Technology A New Era in Aviation Fuel Research Cranfield University, renowned for its aerospace research and expertise, has made significant strides towards the goal of sustainable aviation through hydrogen technology. With the launch of the Cranfield Hydrogen Integration Incubator (CH2i), backed by £69 million in funding, the institution solidifies itself as a leader in hydrogen-enabled aviation research. https://lnkd.in/dS8yfYPe #hydrogen #aviationindustry

Do you think international collaboration between funding programmes and projects is crucial to realising the European Green Deal towards the commitment of Net Zero 2050? Beene M'membe-Bryan , Strategy & Delivery Manager, Aerospace Technology Institute spoke to Maria Calvo Blanco, Head of Unit Project Management, Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking at ATI Conference last month. Watch as Maria discusses the European strategic research and innovation agenda including: ⚡ Hybrid-electric propulsion 🛩️ More efficient propulsion and lightweight airframe solutions ⛽ Hydrogen powered aircraft The Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking is the European Union’s leading research and innovation programme for transforming aviation towards a sustainable and climate neutral future. Maria shared these priorities during a keynote presentation on European aerospace opportunities on day two at ATI Conference 2024. #DestinationZero #ATIConference

Clean Aviation Partnership Updated its Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA) - Sept 2024, for European Union funding The updated version of the SRIA offers the vision for the 2nd Phase of the Clean Aviation programme, focusing on four proposed aircraft concepts for integration and demonstration. These candidate aircraft concepts are addressing SMR and Regional segments. They offer the best potential to decrease net-GHG down to an average of 86%, thanks to an improved efficiency of no less than 30% from aircraft technological innovations at aircraft level and the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (#SAF) and Hydrogen (#H2). The #SRIA outlines the approach to ensure that the technological industrial readiness of innovations achieved at completion (up to TRL 6 by 2030) can support the launch of disruptive new products and services for an entry into service by 2035. The #HPA demonstration plan (Figure 6.5): and auxiliary functions related to the Clean Aviation efforts. Here’s an overview of each: 🔹 Aircraft Level: The plan includes potential flight demonstrations for large-scale aircraft, such as the H2C (100-150 pax), FC (100 pax), and hybrid regional aircraft. 🔹 System Level: - A 5 MW class for direct hydrogen combustion and end-to-end propulsion systems (H2C). - A 2.5 MW class for fuel cell propulsion and end-to-end power train (FCPS). - A 1 MW class for battery alternatives (#HyFC) with non-propulsive fuel cells. The route to certification, industrialization, MRO, and standards is also highlighted, reinforced with various demonstrations (techno bricks, sub-system ground, and integrated ground demos). Ability to Enable Auxiliary Functions: 🔹 Emphasizes utilising the intrinsic properties of high pressure and/or cryogenic temperatures to enable additional functions. 🔹 Applications include cooling means for powertrain components and using pressure for various devices. 🔹 Activities will focus on demonstrating the feasibility and performance of cryogenic propulsion and electric distribution systems. 🔹 #Superconducting technologies, although not directly addressed by Clean Aviation, are recommended to be studied in synergy with the program to potentially add value at the system level. Need for enablers like Inspection and MRO maintenance for safety and economics is also noted. <Source: https://lnkd.in/ejsmHtwX> #SustainableAviation #Technologies #AerospaceTechnology #Sustainable #Aviation #Roadmap #Funding #EU #CleanAviation

🌍 Decarbonising Aviation: A Hydrogen-Powered Future ✈️ The aviation industry is taking bold strides toward sustainability with hydrogen-powered aircraft. As outlined in the Federal Aviation Administration’s newly released Hydrogen-Fueled Aircraft #Safety and #Certification Roadmap, hydrogen offers transformative potential to meet 2050 #decarbonization goals. Key insights include: • Hydrogen’s Promise: Zero CO2 emissions and higher energy efficiency. • Safety First: Addressing fire, explosion, and material embrittlement hazards. • Roadmap Actions: Near-term (2023-2028) focus on regulatory frameworks, research, and industry collaboration. Medium-term (2028-2032) plans for certification readiness for propulsive fuel cells and hydrogen turbines. • Collaborative Vision: Leveraging expertise from the FAA, EASA, NASA, DOE, and global aviation stakeholders to harmonize standards. With projects like Airbus #ZEROe, ZeroAvia, and HyFlux leading innovation, hydrogen propulsion is set to revolutionise aviation. Let’s work together to navigate the challenges and unlock this sustainable future. What are your thoughts on hydrogen as aviation’s next frontier?
