Hydrogen Aircraft

Hydrogen aircraft refer to aircraft that utilize hydrogen as a primary fuel source for propulsion. These aircraft can be powered by combustion engines that burn hydrogen or by fuel cells that convert hydrogen into electricity. Hydrogen-powered aviation is considered a potential solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the aerospace industry, as hydrogen fuel produces only water vapor when burned, making it a much cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels. The development of hydrogen aircraft is part of ongoing efforts to promote sustainable aviation and combat climate change, as it aligns with goals to achieve lower carbon emissions in transportation systems. Various prototypes and research initiatives are underway to optimize the technology and infrastructure needed for hydrogen fuel production, storage, and distribution in aviation.
