Yocova: Behind Airbus' early-stage hydrogen glider emissions and warming research

Retrieved on: 
Jeudi, septembre 15, 2022

Non-carbon emissions from fossil fuel kerosene include oxides of nitrogen (commonly referred to as NOx), soot, oxidised sulphur, and water vapour.

Key Points: 
  • Non-carbon emissions from fossil fuel kerosene include oxides of nitrogen (commonly referred to as NOx), soot, oxidised sulphur, and water vapour.
  • When it comes to hydrogen, airframers have two options: one is to burn hydrogen directly in the engine, while the other is to power aircraft via hydrogen fuel cells.
  • The hydrogen glider will be modified by teams working with the atmospheric research Perlan Project , which itself uses a glider as its research aircraft and which achieved the subsonic altitude record in 2018.
  • Given that hydrogen is substantially less dense than kerosene, the rear pilot seating in the glider will be replaced by two 700-bar hydrogen tanks that will power the hydrogen combustion turbojet engine.
