Airbus is working in more time. directions to get to reduce the polluting emissions of aircraft. In particular, the company looks with great interest at Fuel Cell technology seen as one of the possible solutions to develop zero-emission aircraft by 2035.
In this regard , Airbus has made an interesting announcement. In fact, he made it known that he is developing a propulsion systemfor aircraft equipped with Fuel Cell technology (electric motor powered by fuel cells). As a first step of this project, the company will test the on the ground this new engine. Subsequently he will carry out the actual flight tests. In particular, flight tests should begin by 2026.
According to the company, these engines could be used in aircraft capable of carrying up to 100 passengers with a range of up to 1,000 nautical miles. Glenn Llewellyn, VP Zero-Emission Aircraft at Airbus, commented:
Fuel cells are a potential solution to help us achieve our zero emissions ambition and we are focused on developing and testing this technology to see if it is suitable for future use. feasible and practicable for a zero-emission aircraft to enter service in 2035. At scale, and if technology goals are met, fuel cell engines may be able to power a hundred-passenger aircraft with a range of approximately 1,000 nautical miles.

Airbus has been exploring the possibilities for a long time. of fuel cell propulsion systems for the aviation sector. In October 2020, Airbus created Aerostack, a joint venture with ElringKlinger, a company with over 20 years of experience as both a fuel cell system supplier.
However, the aircraft manufacturer is not looking at the use of hydrogen only in combination with Fuel Cell systems. In fact, it is also working on the development of "traditional" powered by hydrogen. All this always with the aim of reducing polluting emissions. A path that Rolls-Royce has recently decided to follow with easyJet. it is therefore very interesting to discover the results of Airbus' development work on the various technologies that exploit hydrogen. It must be said, however, that this technology, in addition to some technical problems still to be solved, requires that other problems be solved. First of all it is It is necessary to use green hydrogen whose production is still limited. Furthermore, if aviation were to decide to focus on this fuel, it would be necessary to completely overhaul the airport infrastructure.
