easyJet has successfully conducted a hydrogen-powered baggage vehicle trial<\/strong> at Bristol Airport. Project Acorn involved the use of hydrogen to fuel ground support equipment (GSE), baggage tractors that service aircraft.<\/p>\n\n

First hydrogen-powered luggage vehicle test<\/h2>\n\n

Project Acorn represents the first airside hydrogen refueling trial at a major UK airport. During the tests, DHL ground handlers refueled a Mulag baggage tractor equipped with a Globe fuel cell powertrain using compressed hydrogen supplied by BOC<\/strong>. The refueling process, facilitated by Fuel Cell Systems’ HyCube unit, took only three minutes, filling the tractor tanks to 250 bar.This allowed the hydrogen-powered tractor to operate for two to three hours, efficiently transporting passengers’ luggage to and from easyJet aircraft. Importantly, the UK Civil Aviation Authority<\/strong> was actively involved in the trial as an independent reviewer of the safety case.<\/p>\n\n

Industry collaboration and key safety points<\/h2>\n\n

The success of Project Acorn was a collaborative effort involving diverse organizations from aviation, engineering, logistics and academia. Cranfield Aerospace Solutions, Cranfield University, Connected Places Catapult (CPC), IAAPS, Jacobs and TCR<\/strong> came together to support the project.<\/p>\n\n

Its collective goal is to establish industry best practices, provide guidance on necessary infrastructure changes, and create a regulatory framework for the use of hydrogen in aviation fields. \n for the use of hydrogen in the airfields.<\/a>\n<\/strong>. Since hydrogen is relatively new in aviation, there is currently a lack of standards in this area.<\/p>\n\n

The data and information from the trial will<\/strong> also contribute to ongoing research by groups such as Hydrogen in Aviation<\/strong> (HIA) to ensure that UK infrastructure and regulations keep up with advances in carbon-free flight.<\/p>\n\n
