Airbus will test hydrogen propulsion on an A380, its largest passenger plane.
The manufacturer is working with engine maker CFM International, a joint venture of GE and France's Safran.hydrogen-powered engine on a modified A380 by the middle of the decade, in hopes of bringing lower-emissions fuels to commercial air travel. The European aircraft giant said Tuesday that it's working with engine-maker CFM International — a joint venture of's aviation arm and France's Safran — on the test plane, which will include a modified version of an engine already in use that will have to handle higher temperatures at which hydrogen burns. Test flights could begin 2026, Airbus said.
Aircraft manufacturers and airlines are scrambling to slash their carbon emissions, which account for more than 2% of the world's total. Airbus has aggressively pursued hydrogen and said it is working on a passenger aircraft powered by the fuel that it expects will enter service in 2035.
