Pioneering 44M Project for 2 MW Cryogenic Hydrogen-Electric

Propelling Aviation into a Sustainable Future

Nottingham University Unveils Cutting-Edge Hydrogen Fuel Research

In a groundbreaking initiative, the University of Nottingham has embarked on a 44 million project to develop a 2-megawatt cryogenic hydrogen-electric aircraft engine. This pioneering research, known as Hy2FlyGHT, aims to revolutionize the aviation industry by introducing a greener and more sustainable form of air travel.

The Hy2FlyGHT project involves a consortium of leading-edge partners, including Airbus, Rolls-Royce, and Johnson Matthey. Together, they will create a hydrogen-fueled engine that produces zero carbon emissions, significantly reducing the environmental impact of air travel.

This groundbreaking technology holds immense potential to transform the aviation industry. Hydrogen fuel offers several advantages over traditional jet fuel, including higher efficiency, lower noise levels, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. By harnessing the power of hydrogen, the Hy2FlyGHT project aims to create cleaner and more sustainable air travel for generations to come.
