Airbus has decided to move away from its initial 2035 target date for introducing a hydrogen-powered aircraft. The announcement was made during a summit held at Airbus' headquarters in Toulouse, France, where Bruno Fichefeux, head of future programs, explained that the company will reassess its timeline due to delays in the development of a robust production and infrastructure ecosystem for the hydrogen market. The company has been working on a narrowbody hydrogen aircraft concept named ZEROe, which includes four electric propulsion propeller engines powered by a fuel cell system converting hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy. This innovative aircraft is designed to operate with zero emissions. Airbus has already completed comprehensive testing of components of the propulsion system, such as electric motors, gearboxes, and fuel cell stacks. Moving forward, Airbus will focus on further enhancing storage, distribution, and propulsion systems for hydrogen aircraft. Glenn Llewellyn, the head of the ZEROe Project, highlighted the importance of advocating for the regulatory framework essential for the successful implementation of hydrogen aircraft to ensure they can become operational in the future.
