The possibility of hydrogen-powered aircraft means greater opportunities for fossil-free travel, and the technological advances to make this happen are moving fast.
New studies from Chalmers University of Technology show that by 2045, almost all air travel within a 750-mile radius could be made with hydrogen aircraft.
Moreover, with a novel heat exchanger currently in development, this range could even be further.
“If everything falls into place, the commercialisation of hydrogen flight will be really fast. As early as 2028, the first commercial hydrogen flights in Sweden could be in the air,” said Tomas Grönstedt, Professor at Chalmers.
