                     AIRBUS LOOKS TO THE 
FUTURE WITH HYDROGEN 
PLANES
INTRODUCTION
 Aerospace giant Airbus has unveiled plans for what it 
hailed as the first commercial zero-emission aircraft.

HYDROGEN-FUELED PASSENGER PLANES
 The company said its hydrogen-fueled passenger planes could be in 
service by 2035.
 Airbus chief executive said the three ZEROe concept designs marked a 
historic moment for the commercial aviation sector.

EMISSIONS-FREE AVIATION
 The use of hydrogen had the potential to significantly reduce aviation's 
climate impact.
 The concept of emissions-free aviation relies heavily on finding ways to 
produce large quantities of hydrogen from renewable or low-carbon sources.

FOSSIL FUELS
 Most large-scale production at the moment relies on fossil fuels, 
particularly methane, and is not considered to be low-carbon.

HISTORY
 Analysts point out that it is not the first time that hydrogen has been 
touted as the savior of modern air travel.
 Its use in aviation goes back to the days of airships in the early 20th 
Century, but the Hindenburg disaster in 1937 brought that era to an end.

EU-FUNDED CRYOPLANE PROJECT
 Recently, from 2000 to 2002, Airbus was involved in the EU-funded 
Cryoplane project, which studied the feasibility of a liquid hydrogen-
fuelled aircraft.

DECISIVE ACTION
 Unveiling its latest blueprints, Airbus said its turbofan design could carry 
up to 200 passengers more than 2,000 miles, while a turboprop concept 
would have a 50% lower capacity and range.

ELECTRICAL POWER
 A third, "blended-wing body" aircraft was the most eye-catching of the three 
designs.
 All three planes would be powered by gas-turbine engines modified to burn 
liquid hydrogen, and through hydrogen fuel cells to create electrical power.

REFUELING INFRASTRUCTURE
 Airbus admitted that for the idea to work, airports would have to invest large 
sums of money in refueling infrastructure.
 The transition to hydrogen, as the primary power source for these concept 
planes, will require decisive action from the entire aviation ecosystem
