The UK consortium comprising industry partners, universities, and government bodies has launched the HyFIVE programme with initial funding of nearly £40 million. The partnership, supported by the ATI Programme and Innovate UK, aims to develop a cutting-edge liquid hydrogen fuel system and supply chain for zero-emission aviation by the 2030s. The recent approval of a grant offer letter from Innovate UK has allowed the partners to begin project activities. The collaboration will involve specialized R&D conducted by the University of Manchester, the University of Bath, and Cardiff University. The consortium's leadership teams made their first public appearance together, emphasizing the importance of industry-academic collaboration in driving innovation. Stakeholders believe that the project will showcase the UK's capabilities in cleaner air travel and sustainability. The industry partners, including GKN Aerospace, are committed to leveraging their expertise and academic insights to advance hydrogen fuel system technology for future aviation needs.
