EasyJet partners with GKN Aerospace on hydrogen aircraft development
EasyJet is collaborating with aerospace supplier GKN Aerospace on the adoption of zero carbon emission tech.
EasyJet is supporting the development of GKN Aerospace’s Hydrogen Combustion (H2JET) and Hydrogen Fuel Cell (H2GEAR) technology.
EasyJet will provide insights into operational requirements and economics.
H2GEAR is a GKN Aerospace led UK collaboration programme aiming to develop a liquid hydrogen propulsion system for sub-regional aircraft
The aim is to scale up to larger aircraft.
Liquid hydrogen is being converted to electricity within a fuel cell system and this electricity efficiently powers the aircraft.
H2JET is a Swedish two-year programme led by GKN Aerospace to push development of key subsystems for gas turbine-based hydrogen propulsion.
David Morgan, Director of Flight Operations, easyJet, said: “We know that technology is a key driver to achieve our decarbonisation targets, with hydrogen propulsion a frontrunner for short-haul airlines like easyJet.”
In November last year easyJet joined Race to Zero, a UN-backed campaign to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 at the latest.
Beyond carbon, easyJet is focusing on reducing plastic – more than 36 million single-use plastic items were eliminated – as well as reducing waste within its wider operations.
