easyJet, the leisure airline, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with the US-based startup JetZero to work on blended-wing aircraft, aiming for zero-carbon aviation by 2030. This partnership was revealed at a Net Zero tech showcase as part of easyJet's Net Zero Roadmap anniversary celebration. JetZero, supported by entities like the U.S. Air Force, NASA, and FAA, is focused on developing innovative aircraft models, with future plans to integrate hydrogen combustion engine technology. These aircraft are projected to deliver up to 50% lower fuel burn and emissions compared to conventional tube-and-wing designs. A recent study commissioned by easyJet unveiled that a significant portion of Brits see zero emission technologies, particularly hydrogen, as crucial for decarbonizing air travel. The research indicated that a majority of UK citizens are interested in traveling more sustainably, with many relying on technological advancements to reduce their environmental impact. The findings also showed strong support for zero-carbon emission solutions like hydrogen-powered aircraft among the British populace. As part of its commitment to sustainability, easyJet has embarked on its Net Zero Roadmap, working on various initiatives to achieve carbon neutrality. The airline is actively collaborating with industry giants such as Airbus and Rolls-Royce to develop hydrogen-powered aircraft. The ultimate objective of easyJet is to operate flights using zero carbon emission hydrogen aircraft. CEO Johan Lundgren expressed confidence in the importance of technological advancements in ensuring the future of air travel for UK passengers. The partnership with JetZero and the focus on zero-carbon solutions underscore easyJet's dedication to driving innovation and sustainability in the aviation sector.
