Airbus UpNext, a subsidiary of Airbus, has launched a new technological demonstrator called 'Cryoprop' to advance superconducting technologies for use in electric propulsion systems of future hydrogen-powered aircraft. This two megawatt-class system will be cooled by liquid hydrogen via a helium recirculation loop. The project aims to confirm the potential of superconducting technologies for future aircraft applications, focusing on safety, industrialization, maintenance, and operations. Airbus intends to develop expertise internally and build a new ecosystem to expedite the introduction of products such as superconducting cables, motors, cryogenic power electronics, and cooling systems.
