GKN Aerospace joins Airbus-led consortium to advance hydrogen flight
UK engineering business GKN Aerospace has joined a Dutch Airbus-led consortium to develop cryogenic and electrical systems for hydrogen-powered aircraft.
The ICEFlight project, part of the Dutch ‘Luchtvaart in Transiti’ programme, will explore how liquid hydrogen can serve as both fuel and coolant to support next-generation electric flight technologies, including superconducting systems.
Superconducting systems use materials that conduct electricity with zero resistance, improving the efficiency and reducing the weight of aircraft power systems.
