The Moon in our sights | Airbus
As the Orion spacecraft continues its historic mission around the Moon powered by the Airbus-built European Service Module (ESM), our engineers are already looking ahead to the future 'lunar ecosystem' – which is expected to represent a market value in the billions of euros during the next 20 years.
Airbus prepares for its first megawatt-class hydrogen fuel-cell engine flight-test demonstrator… | Airbus
Hydrogen-powered fuel-cell engine architecture with cryogenic storage could feature in an all-new zero-emission aircraft which will enter service by 2035. Airbus is already well on track to design, build and demonstrate such a megawatt-class propulsion system, in under four years from now…
Airbus teams up to advance green hydrogen availability at airports | Airbus
Airbus has signed a partnership agreement with HyPort, a joint venture between ENGIE Solutions and the Regional Agency for Energy and Climate in Occitanie (AREC), a leader in the development of green hydrogen in France, to support the development of one of the world's first low carbon hydrogen production and distribution stations at an airport.
Construction of the hydrogen station at Toulouse-Blagnac airport was completed earlier this year and the production, storage and distribution systems are currently undergoing final testing. The station which is slated to enter-into service in early 2023 will have a capacity to produce around 400 kg of hydrogen per day, providing the possibility to power some 50 ground transportation vehicles.
Airbus and ArianeGroup to pioneer liquid hydrogen technology | Airbus
Airbus and ArianeGroup, a joint venture equally owned by Airbus and Safran, and a world leader in space propulsion technologies, will work together to build the first liquid hydrogen refuelling facility for ZEROe aircraft at Toulouse, Blagnac airport. The station will be operational in 2025.
ArianeGroup will design, produce and support the operations of the liquid hydrogen fuelling system necessary for Airbus' ZEROe demonstrator as it embarks on its ground and flight test campaign - due to start in the middle of this decade.
Airbus reveals hydrogen-powered zero-emission engine | Airbus
Airbus has revealed that it is developing a hydrogen-powered fuel cell engine. The propulsion system is being considered as one of the potential solutions to equip its zero-emission aircraft that will enter service by 2035.
Airbus will start ground and flight testing this fuel cell engine architecture onboard its ZEROe demonstrator aircraft towards the middle of the decade. The A380 MSN1 flight test aircraft for new hydrogen technologies is currently being modified to carry liquid hydrogen tanks and their associated distribution systems.
Could hydrogen fuel-cell systems be the solution for emission-free aviation? | Airbus
The holy grail of aircraft propulsion is to provide power without any emissions. One of the most promising candidates is the hydrogen fuel-cell. Here we explain how Airbus and its partners are helping to drive the technology forward to be ready for flight demonstrations.
Campaña para Las Sillas Voladoras Elisabeth Heilmeyer de Eduardo Gavilán Pimentel : AVIACIÓN SIN BARRERAS-BECAS LAS SILLAS VOLADORAS
La asociación "Las Sillas Voladoras" celebrará el próximo 4 de diciembre, junto con Aviaciondigital, una jornada muy especial. Este evento, de carácter totalmente altruista, tiene como fin dar a conocer las actividades que se llevan a cabo desde la organización y que tiene como principal objetivo "dar alas" a personas con capacidades diferentes, para que puedan realizar un curso de piloto de planeador que sirva como vínculo para su integración.
Además, este proyecto aspira a conseguir fondos para financiar 4 becas que irán destinadas a personas con escasos recursos económicos y que presenten alguna incapacidad física en las piernas. Así, con esta financiación se pretende brindar la posibilidad de que puedan disfrutar de una experiencia en vuelo.
Airbus unveils its DisruptiveLab to test new decarbonisation focused technologies | Airbus
The DisruptiveLab will evaluate a new aerodynamic architecture intended to reduce fuel consumption, as well as pursuing the implementation of hybridisation with a fully parallel hybrid propulsion system that enables the battery to be recharged in-flight. The new demonstrator will take to the skies before the end of 2022 in order to begin flight testing and maturing these new technologies.
Franco-German fighter jet project still faces turbulence
Twice in two weeks French and German politicians have declared the end of a long impasse in their project to deliver one of the most complex fighter programmes in the world … And twice they have been put in their place by Dassault Aviation…

Clean Aviation SWITCH Project to Advance Hybrid-Electric and Water-Enhanced Turbofan Technologies
The Sustainable Water-Injecting Turbofan Comprising Hybrid-Electrics (SWITCH) project is focused on developing a novel propulsion concept built from two revolutionary and synergetic technologies: Water-Enhanced Turbofan (WET) and hybrid-electric propulsion. By combining these technologies with Pratt & Whitney's GTFTM engine architecture, the SWITCH concept aims to significantly enhance efficiency and substantially reduce emissions across the full operating envelope of an aircraft. Technologies developed as part of SWITCH will be fully compatible with cleaner alternative fuels – such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) — and will be evaluated for future use with hydrogen.
