Airbus is stepping up efforts to build hydrogen tanks for the next generation of aircraft by creating Zero-Emission Development Centres (ZEDC) at its sites in Bremen (Germany) and in Nantes (France).
The aim of ZEDC is to achieve cost-competitive cryogenic tank manufacturing to support the successful future market launch of ZEROe (Zero Emissions Aircraft) and to accelerate the development of hydrogen-propulsion technologies.
Airbus says that the design and integration of tank structures are crucial to the performance of a future hydrogen aircraft.
The technology developments will cover the full product and industrial capabilities from elementary parts, assembly, systems integration and the cryogenic testing read more ⇒
