The project uses the Arcus-J, a modified glider powered by a hydrogen-fueled turbojet, to explore how hydrogen propulsion can reduce aviation emissions and environmental impact. As part of Airbus' broader mission to achieve zero-emission aviation by 2035, the campaign focuses on the relationship between hydrogen-powered flight and contrail formation, aiming to inform future aircraft designs and sustainability strategies. https://lnkd.in/dK-6wXti

Airbus is doing great things for our aviation community. Airbus’ ambition is to bring to market the world’s first hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft by 2035. The fully electric concept was revealed in December 2020. It is based on an electric propeller propulsion system powered by hydrogen fuel cells, which transform the hydrogen into electricity through a chemical reaction. Fun fact: Hydrogen (H) is the lightest chemical element on the periodic table. Reference: https://lnkd.in/eAZ7S68x

Awesome article by Elan Head and team at The Air Current! 😊 Every step, every piece of the puzzle - has a critical purpose both for the present - and for the future. And all of it is going to come together "all of the sudden" one day...at least that's how it will be perceived. But it's because of these critical steps we are taking one by one. 👉🏻 There will be plenty more H3 Dynamics updates coming, so stay tuned! 💡 #Aviation #ElectricFlight #SafeSmartSustainable #AdvancingHumanity Climate Impulse Airbus Textron Pipistrel Aircraft Heart Aerospace Honeywell Universal Hydrogen ZeroAvia H2FLY Joby Aviation Archer Lilium Embraer Embraer-X Arjun Gupta AERO X VENTURES Volocopter EUROCAE EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency Clean Aviation Sustainable Aero Lab Dovetail Electric Aviation David Doral Anduril Industries Aurora Flight Sciences Bilal Ahmad ENGIE New Ventures Hy24 Raphaël Bordenave Pratt & Whitney ATR Jean-Brice Dumont Aerospace Valley La Région Occitanie / Pyrénées-Méditerranée Techstars Sustainability Paris HyLight (YC S23) FLYING WHALES

The **Airbus ZEROe** concept planes were officially unveiled on **September 21, 2020**. These concepts represent Airbus's ambition to launch the world's first zero-emission commercial aircraft by 2035, powered by hydrogen as a primary energy source. The designs include various configurations, such as turboprop, turbofan, and blended-wing body concepts, aimed at demonstrating the versatility and potential of hydrogen technology in aviation. 🌱 🌱

How Are Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft Revolutionizing #ZeroEmissionAviation? Hydrogen-powered aircraft represent a promising leap towards zero-emission aviation. By using hydrogen as fuel, these planes—whether through combustion or fuel cells—produce only heat and water, thus eliminating #greenhouse gas emissions. With ongoing research addressing #hydrogenstorage, safety, and costs, the aviation sector is poised to embrace this clean energy solution for a sustainable future.

The EU's Clean Aviation body yesterday released its list of topics for the project's third call for proposals due in February next year - effectively kicking off its second phase. Beneficiaries in this round would appear to be CFM International (CFM) via Safran, which should get funding for flight tests of the RISE open-fan engine, and potentially Rolls-Royce which could pick up funding for ground-tests and flight-test preparation for an ultra-low-bypass ratio turbofan. Notably, there are no projects related to hydrogen in this call - those will likely follow in calls 4 and 5. https://lnkd.in/gRx3NNpk

Hanneke Weitering wrote a great FutureFlight Aviation International News roundup of the state of hydrogen in aviation, and it looks like there's a lot of progress being made by engine makers: https://lnkd.in/eU_w3HN6 #aviation #technology

Zero carbon air travel is something that will affect us all and our planet.

One the best explanation and most informed explanations that I have heard on the route through pressurised hydogren through to liquid hydrogen. Well done to Cranfield Aerospace Solutions. Aviation is here to stay, we are not going to go back years in terms of reliance on surface transport. We are now part of connected world around which our entire economies rely. Protecting the planet has to be done with considered innovation, not sticking our head in the sand and acting like luddites.

The advantages of hydrogen-powered aircraft: Cranfield Aerospace Solutions presents the latest video in our engineering and technology series, focusing on the advantages of hydrogen-powered aircraft. Our Chief Strategy Officer Jenny Kavanagh dives into the benefits of hydrogen as a fuel source and explains why starting with gaseous hydrogen is crucial for entry-level applications, while liquid hydrogen holds the key to truly decarbonising aviation. Watch the video to find out why starting small is key to driving regulations required to understand how to use hydrogen as an aviation fuel in an airport, as well as in maintenance facilities and also in airline operations. #hydrogen #gaseoushydrogen #liquidhydrogen #aviation #hydrogenaviation #technology #futureflight #cleanerskies #zeroemissions #engineering #cranfieldaerospace
