EasyJet has signed a new partnership with U.S. startup JetZero to accelerate the development of commercial aircraft with integrated wing fuselage. This type of aircraft, which offer up to 50% lower fuel consumption and greenhouse gas greenhouse gas emissions, could revolutionize commercial aviation.could revolutionize commercial aviation. In addition, these aircraft have the potential to be powered by hydrogen, aligning with global ambitions to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
The Future of Commercial Aircraft: Hydrogen and Efficiency
British airline to share its expertise in hydrogen propulsion technology hydrogen propulsion technologyThe British airline will share its expertise in hydrogen propulsion technology, the result of years of work with other industry partners. In addition, easyJet will explore the possibility of implementing this technology in the integrated wing fuselage. This unique configuration improves aerodynamic efficiency and offers an innovative solution for hydrogen storage. hydrogen storageThis unique configuration improves aerodynamic efficiency and offers an innovative solution for hydrogen storage, facilitating the transition to zero-emission fuels.
JetZerobacked by entities such as NASA and the U.S. Air Force, plans to have its first commercial aircraft in service by 2030. This aircraft, thanks to its integrated wing design, reduces fuel use per passenger, which would help lower operating costs and accelerate the adoption of new propulsion technologies.
The integrated wing fuselage maximizes efficiencies and significantly reduces emissions. In addition, its ability to be powered by hydrogen makes it even more exciting.
According to David Morgan, Chief Operating Officer of easyJet.
