Hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft, illustration
Illustration of the Airbus Turbofan hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft. Airbus launched the ZEROe project in 2020 to develop the world's first zero-emission commercial aircraft by 2035. In this model, two hybrid-hydrogen turbofan engines provide thrust. The liquid hydrogen storage and distribution system is located behind the rear pressure bulkhead. Hydrogen fuel cells work by transforming the hydrogen into electricity through a chemical reaction. The by-product of the reaction is water vapour, resulting in almost zero emissions., by AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
