HYDEA

HYdrogen DEmonstrator for Aviation

Hydrogen propulsion system for aviation

Hydrogen (H₂) is considered the most promising zero-emission technology to reduce aviation’s climate impact by 2035, in line with the European Green Deal and Clean Aviation Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA).

In this context, the EU-funded HYDEA project proposes a robust and efficient technology maturation plan to develop an H2 propulsion system. The project will comprehensively demonstrate the feasibility of hydrogen propulsion on an aircraft engine in a compacted timeframe (2023-2026) up to the ground test.

HYDEA will address fundamental questions for hydrogen as an aviation fuel, including emission studies and technologies, and pave the way for the development and certification of new products integrating hydrogen technology.
