The hydrogen-powered Tu-155 prototype made its first flight on 15 April 1988.. A hydrogen-powered aircraft is an aeroplane that uses hydrogen fuel as a power source. Hydrogen can either be burned in a jet engine or another kind of internal combustion engine, or can be used to power a fuel cell to generate electricity to power an electric propulsor.
Fuel-powered aircraft may be replaced by hybrid electric aircraft and electric aircraft or by hydrogen-powered aircraft. Since 2021, the IATA members plan net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, followed by the ICAO in 2022.
Program successes included the concept design of a Mach 2.5 aircraft capable of flying at 30,000 meters, and successful conversion of an existing turbojet engine to run on liquid hydrogen, as well as 25+ hours of testing on a customized LH2 engine design. Techniques for handling LH2 on the ground, including making the fuel, transporting and ...
The HY4 has already set a record for highest zero-emissions flight, but its new liquid hydrogen-powered fuel cell could be a game-changer. This New Airplane Could Be The First to Fly on Carbon ...
Hawthorne-based Universal Hydrogen Co. uses hydrogen fuel cell technology to help power a modified 40-passenger regional airliner. It recently put the concept to work in flying one it calls ...
The test plane, a newly liveried ATR 72-600 aircraft with a hydrogen retrofit kit, will soon begin taking to the skies. A JetBlue-Backed Hydrogen-Fuel Powered Airplane Is Coming to the US for ...
Hydrogen can be used largely free of carbon emissions, if it is produced with power from renewable energy like wind and solar power. Some development of technology for hydrogen-powered aircraft started after the millennium and gained track since about 2020, but as of 2022 was still far away from outright aircraft product development.
The Tu-155 was a hybrid, only one of its three Kuznetsov NK-8 engines (they are now called NK-88) was actually powered by hydrogen. [2] The fuel tank was located in the air-blown (or nitrogen) rear compartment. A distinctive feature of the aircraft is that the protrusion of the ventilation system is visible on the tail (near the no. 2 engine).
