Airbus has teamed up with Toshiba to work on a groundbreaking project to develop a highly-efficient superconducting motor for aircraft powered by liquid hydrogen. Hydrogen is considered one of the most promising options for making aircraft emissions-free due to its high energy density and minimal emissions. However, its cryogenic nature and space requirements pose challenges. The collaboration between Airbus and Toshiba focuses on utilizing liquid hydrogen to cool a cryogenic superconducting electric motor, enabling a significant reduction in weight and a 97% powertrain efficiency. The lighter superconducting motor is three times lighter than conventional systems, offering a more powerful and efficient solution for aircraft propulsion. The partnership between Airbus and Toshiba marks a significant milestone in advancing superconducting motor technology for the aerospace industry. By combining Airbus's Cryoprop project and Toshiba's expertise in superconductivity motor prototypes, the collaboration aims to overcome existing limitations and unlock new design possibilities for future hydrogen-powered aircraft. With the potential to revolutionize aircraft technology, the superconducting motor project represents a crucial step towards achieving sustainable and efficient aviation.
