Airbus and MTU Aero Engines have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on advancing hydrogen fuel cell technology for aviation. This initiative, signed at the 55th Paris Airshow, aims to drive the decarbonization of aviation through innovative propulsion systems. Airbus, known for its ZEROe project focusing on hydrogen-powered aviation, and MTU Aero Engines, a prominent engine expert, will leverage their expertise in a three-step roadmap to develop a hydrogen-powered fuel cell engine suitable for commercial aircraft. The partnership will involve joint research projects to mature technological building blocks, aligning R&T roadmaps on hydrogen technologies, and ultimately developing a fuel-cell engine for hydrogen-powered aircraft. Both companies expressed optimism and dedication to pioneering emissions-free flight through sustainable aviation solutions. Bruno Fichefeux from Airbus and Dr. Stefan Weber from MTU Aero Engines highlighted the significance of the partnership in accelerating critical technology maturation and driving innovation in the aviation industry. The collaboration is seen as a crucial step towards achieving a sustainable and eco-friendly future in commercial aviation.
