Airbus and Toshiba have joined forces to explore the use of superconducting technologies in developing hydrogen-powered aircraft. Airbus sees hydrogen-powered planes as a promising pathway to decarbonize the aviation sector and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. By utilizing -253°C liquid hydrogen as both fuel and coolant for electric propulsion systems, these aircraft could significantly enhance energy efficiency and performance. The collaboration aims to push the boundaries of current superconducting and conventional electrical motors to unlock new design possibilities for future Airbus aircraft. Airbus has already made progress in de-risking superconducting technologies with the launch of the Cryoprop demonstrator for testing a 2MW class superconducting electric propulsion system. Toshiba, with nearly half a century of experience in superconducting technology applications, has also developed its own 2MW class superconductivity motor prototype. The partnership between Airbus and Toshiba is expected to drive innovation in the aerospace sector, leveraging superconducting technologies to advance the decarbonization of aviation. Both companies are optimistic about the potential of these technologies to shape the future of aircraft and contribute to a more sustainable aerospace industry.
