Aerospace Technology Institute revealed a concept of a hydrogen-powered airplane that will have the same performance capability as a conventional midsize aircraft but will produce zero carbon emissions.
The new aircraft will have a capacity of 279 seats, a wingspan of 54 meters and fly from London to San Francisco without refueling. It will be powered by hydrogen stored in cryogenic fuel tanks at a temperature of minus 250°Celsius or minus 418°Fahrenheit.
Concepts like these help redefine the future of aviation, showing that truly carbon-free flights are possible and that hydrogen is capable of bettering conventional fossil fuels on both economics and also environmental friendliness.
