AIRBUS COMPLETED THE FIRST TEST FLIGHT OF AN A380 WITH HYDROGEN ENGINE

Airbus wants to be the first aircraft manufacturer to have a hydrogen-burning
plane circling the globe before 2035. In this effort, they have completed the
first test flight of a specially configured A380 that features a hydrogen
combustion engine.

The test flight lasted for four hours and fourteen minutes, during which Airbus’
engineers collected precious technical data that will be used for performance
analysis and optimizations of the flight testbed. The A380 reached an altitude
of 35,000 feet and was tested on a wide range of power settings with great
success.

The aircraft stored four liquid hydrogen tanks vertically, a pioneering fluid
distribution system, and a hydrogen-burning engine positioned along the rear
fuselage. As such, for this first test, the role of the engine was auxiliary and
not vital to the flight, but it still served as a demonstration and proof of
concept.



The R&D project called ZEROe is propelled forward by a partnership between
Airbus and CFM International, a 50/50 joint entity of General Electric and
Safran Aircraft Engines, two leading experts in aircraft propulsion with
incomparable collective experience. CFM is responsible for the modifications on
the combustor, the fuel system, and the controls, while Airbus focuses on the
rest.

The particular engine was selected for inclusion in the A380 testbed mainly for
its physical size, advanced turbomachinery, and high-level fuel flow capability.
Simply put, the engine has to be able to fly the plane on itself for testing
purposes, even if that ensues for short periods.

ZEROe proves that the dream for zero-carbon flying isn’t futile or based on
empty marketing promises. The work to achieve the leap into a new age is already
underway, and Airbus’ engineers are working feverishly to be the force that
brings the dawn of a new era in the aviation industry.
