Airbus believes that it can make a hundred passenger hydrogen aircraft for commercial use.
Glen Llewellyn, Director of the Airbus Zeroe project, calls hydrogen technology a possible aerial revolution.
The use of hydrogen as a fuel could make practically carbon -free airplanes.
European Airplane manufacturer Airbus announced on Tuesday that he believes he could make a liquid hydrogen for commercial use of an airplane for 100 people.
The exact schedule was not announced this time.
In the past, Airbus had planned that the hydrogen machine would be obtained as early as 2035. Now it was said that the problem is that the production of hydrogen machines is not yet profitable.
New The techniques were introduced as part of the design of the hydrogen aircraft with four two -megawatt electric motors.
The fuel cell system would convert hydrogen and oxygen into electric energy.
The news was reported at the two -day Airbus Summit event, invited by nearly two hundred journalists from around the world.
Airbus Zeroe project leading Glen Llewellyn reported that Airbus has developed two liquid hydrogen airplane projects.
“Over the past five years, we have studied several concepts that use as a power of power before we selected this completely electronic concept,” he said.
”This may be aviation game changer“Llewellyn said.” The hydrogen can fly, and we will fly. “
In many The problem with electric aircraft is that the batteries in their energy source weigh a lot.
When there are no batteries, an airplane using a completely electrically operating hydrogen fuel would be in many ways more attractive than battery machines
In planned airplanes, liquid hydrogen would be stored at -253 at the temperature of the tanks reserved for them.
Low temperature is also intended to be used in new electric motors. The engines would operate largely at less than two hundred degrees.
Ultramatala temperature significantly improves energy efficiency and reduces costs, Llewellyn explained.
However, even more significant in the planning of the future is that the use of green hydrogen in electric motor machines would virtually make these airplanes non -carbon -free.
Llewellyn did not want to evaluate HS because possibly one hundred seats would be ready.
Hydrogen It is significantly slowed down by the fact that the industry’s ecosystem is not ready for any further regulation, airport equipment, energy deliveries or other infrastructure.
However, Airbus said he had already created 220 airports and 22 air traffic hubs to promote the hydrogen project, in addition to many other partners.
The use of hydrogen as a future fuel in air traffic is also significantly slowed down by the fact that current aircraft has a lifetime of about 40 years
Airbus said he was developing cryogenic engines with two partners.
The cooperation with Japanese Toshiba has already been announced.
Airbus’s net sales last year were approximately EUR 69 billion.
