Pratt & Whitney Canada is set to showcase hydrogen combustion technology on the PW127XT regional turboprop engine in collaboration with Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc. as part of the Hydrogen Advanced Design Engine Study (HyADES) project supported by Canada's Initiative for Sustainable Aviation Technology (INSAT). The project aims to develop crucial technologies for future hydrogen-powered aircraft while enhancing aviation sustainability through various pathways such as engine efficiency improvements, hybrid-electric propulsion, and sustainable aviation fuel compatibility. The first phase of the project will involve testing on the fuel nozzle and combustor rig using hydrogen fuel, paving the way for future full engine ground testing. The project demonstrates how the PW127XT engine, known for its high efficiency, can be adapted to operate with low carbon alternative fuels. Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc. will play a key role in developing high-efficiency electrolyzers to establish hydrogen production infrastructure. The collaboration underscores the significance of producing green hydrogen at scale to reduce aviation CO2 emissions by utilizing hydrogen either as a direct fuel for combustion or as a feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel. This initiative aligns with Pratt & Whitney Canada's commitment to technological leadership in developing sustainable aviation solutions.
