New Zero Emissions Way to Fly

The United Kingdom's Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) is world famous for aviation innovation. Along with funding from the UK government and aviation partners like Airbus and Rolls Royce, ATI has developed a zero-emissions plane concept designed to fly on liquid hydrogen.  Not only that.  It is designed to fly halfway around the world on liquid hydrogen without any refueling which amounts  to 6,037 miles.  This is the new Fly Zero concept plane and it is a look at the future of zero emissions flying.  It is part of a new world of flying with no pollution spewing into the atmosphere. 

Early Look at the Tech

The concept is a midsized aircraft powered totally by liquid hydrogen that can carry 279 passengers, nonstop from London to San Francisco or elsewhere for up to 6,037 miles. The new plane has a 177-foot wingspan with two turbofan engines powered by hydrogen.  There are no fuel tanks on the wings.  The cryogenic fuel tanks in the rear store hydrogen at -418 Fahrenheit degrees.  ATI says there will also be two additional, smaller tanks to store hydrogen in the front of the plane to maintain balance as the plane consumes the hydrogen fuel.  This concept plane promises to operate at speeds comparable to current jet aircraft.

More Info

UK's ATI believes that hydrogen powered planes like their concept will be deployed in the mid-2030's as much better cost and fuel efficient alternatives to current jet fuel powered aircraft. They promise more information in 2022 on concepts for regional and narrowbody aircraft, potential primary market areas and more.  To take a look at many more aircraft concepts, go to https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B093J89VF5&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_0HKW12MPKQT
