Designing Zero-Emission Engines

The journey to zero-emission aviation requires bold innovations and significant investments. Hydrogen propulsion, hybrid systems, and turbo-electric technologies are key to making future aircraft more efficient than today’s models.

‍
The main challenges include ensuring emission reduction while maintaining safety standards, integrating hydrogen fuel systems, and optimizing propulsion efficiency. The path forward is expected to unfold in three innovation waves: technologies that are already known and reliable but less efficient, followed by lighter hydrogen tanks, and finally, using cryogenic cooling to enable turbo-electric propulsion with superconducting systems.
