Hydrogen-powered airplanes?

 

In an effort to make air travel more environmentally-friendly, Wizz Air and Airbus are getting together on a venture to use hydrogen for air travel.

Sure hope this goes better than the Hindenburg

Wizz Air partners with Airbus on hydrogen-powered aircraft operations


"Through the recently signed agreement, Wizz Air "will analyze the potential for highly efficient, ultra-low-cost hydrogen-powered operations” and can collect detailed data regarding how operating hydrogen-powered aircraft could impact its business in the future. “We remain ambitious with our growth strategy to deliver on our commitment to make travel affordable for all while delivering a great customer experience on board one of the youngest and greenest fleets in Europe,” Johan Eidhagen, Chief People & ESG Officer, Wizz Air said. “We believe that growth and sustainability are not mutually exclusive, with leading-edge new technology paving the way to more sustainable air travel.”
Good luck.  

Hope it works.

But in case anyone is wondering if this will fly --- it already does.
