Airbus UpNext, a subsidiary of Airbus, has unveiled a new technological demonstrator called Cryoprop in Paris, showcasing the potential of superconducting technologies for future hydrogen-powered aircraft. This two megawatt-class superconducting electric propulsion system, cooled by liquid hydrogen using a helium recirculation loop, is developed by Airbus teams in France and Germany. The CEO of Airbus UpNext, Michael Augello, expressed confidence in the demonstrator's ability to enhance the propulsion system, leading to considerable weight and fuel savings. The project aims to confirm the viability of superconducting technologies for aviation applications, focusing on safety, industrialization, maintenance, and operations. Furthermore, Airbus seeks to build in-house expertise and foster an ecosystem to expedite the introduction of innovative products like superconducting cables, motors, power electronics, and cooling systems. The initiative aligns with Airbus' commitment to advancing high-power electric propulsion systems, signaling a positive outlook on the integration of superconducting technologies in the aviation sector.
