H2 Aviation Summit 2022
DAY 2 SESSION 4
Getting #Aircraft Ready for #Hydrogen
CHAIR:
- Graham Warwick, Managing Editor, Technology, Aviation Week
SPEAKERS:
- Gabriele Teofili, Head of Aircraft Integration and Testing, #ZeroAvia
- Elio Ruggi, Senior VP, Head of Aircraft Development, Quality & Flight Operations, #MHIRJ
- Richard Berkling, Chief Executive Officer, #Powercell Sweden AB
- Derk Nieuwenhuijze, VP Strategy, Marketing & Communication, #AirFrance Industries #KLM E&M
Hydrogen-electric #propulsion innovators plan commercial entry in the middle of this decade, and recent demonstrations show the advancing readiness of the #technology.
This panel explores the technical challenges of retrofitting existing airframes and altering designs to accommodate hydrogen storage, power generation and electrical propulsion systems and how clean sheet designs will maximize the #aviation fuel of the future.
Panelists discuss the system architecture challenges of different airframe types and how these can be overcome to deliver a certifiable configuration. The session examines some of the future efficiencies that can be delivered with artful design and how early retrofit operations will lay the foundations for optimally designed airframes for #hydrogen.
