The Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) has unveiled three zero-carbon airliner concepts developed under the UK government’s FlyZero project, which aims to support the accelerated introduction of hydrogen-powered aircraft.
The three concepts cover the regional, narrowbody and mid-size market sectors. Together they form part of a study that targets zero-carbon emission commercial air travel by the end of the decade. Findings from the project, which concludes that green hydrogen is the most viable zero-carbon emission fuel, include recommendations on how key technology challenges can be overcome, along with market and economic reports and a sustainability assessment.
