Airbus has unveiled three visual concepts for 'zero emission' airplanes to be powered by hydrogen.
The “ZEROe” initiative includes concepts for two conventional-looking aircraft: a turbofan jet engine able to carry 120-200 people over 2,000 nautical miles and a turboprop able to carry up to 100 people for 1,000 nm.
A third proposal incorporates a revolutionary “blended wing body” design similar to one presented in February.“The demonstrator will allow us to assess what the most promising architecture is,” Airbus Chief Technology Officer Grazia Vittadini said in an interview.To meet its 2035 goal, Airbus would need to select technologies by 2025, she said. Other industry executives said such a clean break in propulsion could take until 2040.
