The planes of the future Airbus to beán hydro propelledóGeno as fuel for an aircraftón más clean and efficient.
Airbus has revealed three concepts for the first avióworld's zero-emission commercial vehicle that couldíto enter service in 2035. Each of these concepts represents a different approach to achieving zero emission flight., exploring various víthe technologyóaerodynamics and configurationsámeasures to support the ambitionócompany numberñíleading the way in decarbonización of the entire aviation industryón.
All these concepts are based on hydroógeno as a source of energyíto primary, an optionón which Airbus believes has exceptional promise as an aviation fuelón clean and is probably a solutionón for the aerospace industry and many other industries to meet their climate goalsáethically neutral.

the three concepts, all with names «ZEROe», for a first avión commercial zero-emission and climate-neutral products include:
ZEROe turbofán
With a capacity of 120-200 passengers and a range of más de 2,000 miles náUticas, to beía capable of transcontinental operation powered by a modified hydro-powered gas turbine engineógeno, instead of fuelón. The hydrógeno líliquid to be storedá and distributeá a través of tanks located in the rear.
ZEROe turbohélice
With a capacity of up to 100 passengers that uses turboh enginesélice instead of a turbofan and alsoén fuel-poweredón of hydrógeno in modified gas turbine engines, what to beístill able to travelás de 1.000 miles náUticas, so it is an optionóperfect for short trips.
ZEROe “combined wing body”
capacity up to 200 passengers in which the wings are fused into the main body of the aircraft with a range similar to that of the turbofan concept. The exceptionally wide fuselage opens múmultiple options for storage and distributionón of hydrógeno, and for the designño from the cabin.
«These concepts will help usán to explore and mature the designñor and the dispositionón of the first grandfatherón commercial zero emissions and climateáethically neutral world, that we intend to put into service by 2035», Guillaume Faury said.
To address these challengesíos, airports requireán an important transportation and water refueling infrastructureógeno to meet the needs of daily operations. Government support will beá key to meeting these ambitious objectives with greater financingón for investigationón and technologyía, digitizationón and mechanisms that promote the use of sustainable fuels and renewalón of aircraft fleets to allow airlinesíneas remove the aircraft soonerás old and less respectful of the environment.
