Hydrogen and hydrogen-electric propulsion represent a promising path towards achieving zero emission aviation. When produced from clean electricity, hydrogen has no CO2 emissions over its life cycle. Hydrogen can be combusted through modified gas-turbine engines or converted into electrical power that complements the gas turbine via fuel cells. The aviation industry and governments jointly foster disruptive innovation combined with sustainability.
The Vienna Aviation days are organized through the Horizon Europe project exFan (101138184). The aim of this congress is to establish a platform to enable an exchange of green aviation topics for aviation research projects and build a connection between the different projects, programmes and policy makers. The topics of the projects contribute to future Hydrogen/Hybrid electric aircraft propulsion systems.
At the event, the participating projects will present their activities towards hydrogen propulsion. The audience can gain an insight into the tasks and challenges of the individual projects. This will serve as a basis for discussion and subsequent one-to-one meetings and pave the way for possible cross-project collaboration or to create ideas and cooperation for new projects.
Participation at the Vienna Aviation Days will be free of charge.
