A partner of Embraer and two other companies will create hydrogen systems for commercial flights

A collaboration between three aerospace manufacturers to develop a hydrogen fuel system for zero-emission aircraft applications was established by the memorandum of understanding signed between them this week. GKN Aerospace, Marshall Aerospace, and Parker Aerospace will jointly undertake the task of offering the system. GKN points out that the purpose of the undertakings is to support hydrogen electric fuel cells, or combustion thereof, for a 1 MW power train. Ground tests will commence on account of a UK government funded project, H2GEAR. It is estimated that it is capable of feeding a medium-sized aircraft with at least 100 seats. Scalability for larger aircraft applications is being evaluated. At the recent Paris Air Show, GKN announced a contract with Embraer for the flight test of the system from 2028-2029. Company statements show the intention to assemble the fuel and propulsion system in a test flight towards the end of the decade. Russ Dunn, director of the Technology Department at GKN Aerospace, says that the agreement has a goal of zero emissions in mid-range aircraft. He also points out that the support of the partners, Marshall and Parker, can accelerate the development of the hydrogen propulsion necessary for this. The agreement will place aerospace manufacturers as part of a joint effort to study and establish the feasibility of a hydrogen fuel system. If successful, the audience will have the endorsement to use this system to reduce emissions and thus rethink the future of air travel. – https://aeroin.net/parceira-da-embraer-e-mais-duas-empresas-vao-criar-sistemas-de-hidrogenio-para-voos-comerciais/
