This session explores the developments in how aircraft design is evolving in ways that is influenced by hydrogen propulsion systems and other evolutions in airframe design that will impact adoption. How is the industry is considering a hydrogen future? Will a generation of hydrogen-first aircraft emerge and when? How will new entrants disrupt the market? When can we expect large aircraft capable of flying on hydrogen fuel?
Panelists will discuss the technical and operational challenges of integrating hydrogen propulsion and cryogenic storage into airframe designs and the changes necessary to optimize for the new fuel.
Speakers:
Graham Warwick, Technology Editor, Aviation Week (Moderator)
Val Miftakhov, Founder & CEO, ZeroAvia
David Debney, Head of Technology – Whole Aircraft, ATI
Vadim Lvovich, Hydrogen Aircraft Technology Lead, NASA
Jacques-Alexis Verrecchia, Head of Product, Beyond Aero

Live from Paris Airshow, hear from ZeroAvias VP Sales and Business Development Oli Henstridge, on the opportunity for sub-regional zero-emission flight using hydrogen-electric.
Hydrogen-electric powertrains offer both lower operating and maintenance costs and have a range of applications across the sub-regional sector. Lower costs and environmental impact means enhanced connectivity, increasing economic and productivity growth across industries through social exchange.
