Booklet: Research and Development more electric and hydrogen powered aerospace
Hydrogen as a fuel is considered to be an important route towards future sustainable aviation. For aviationapplications, hydrogen presents several key advantages: it allows for the elimination of carbon emissions inflight and along the entire life cycle. Its usage in fuel cells allows eliminating NOx and particles. When burntin a turbine engine, very low particle […]
