Description
Airbus is highly committed to leading the decarbonisation of the aerospace sector. In order to shape a new and sustainable future, Airbus is investigating the feasibility of hydrogen-powered aircraft through its ZEROe pre-programme. This presentation explores the time-scales required to realise carbon-neutral aviation and gives an introduction of the physics of hydrogen and its impact on high-level aircraft design. At a more detailed level, it will also consider challenges specific to hydrogen, such as sloshing and cryogenic tank operations, and close with the competencies and co-operations required to tackle these technical challenges.
