Exploring Hydrogen's Potential for Clean Aviation Fuel

Hydrogen offers a promising path for sustainable aviation with its high energy density and clean-burning properties. However, it also comes with challenges.

‍

Gaseous hydrogen suits short-to-medium regional flights and can be paired with electric systems, though it requires strict safety protocols due to its escape and ignition risks. Liquid hydrogen, ideal for long-haul routes, needs mature cryogenic storage tech adapted to aerospace standards.

‍

The regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly, as demonstrated by AeroTEC’s test flights adhering to SAE guidelines, while the FAA collaborates with industry experts to develop certification frameworks tailored to the unique challenges of hydrogen propulsion.
