GKN Aerospace leads development of ground-breaking hydrogen propulsion system for aircraft<\/strong><\/p>\n

GKN Aerospace will lead a ground-breaking UK collaboration programme, called H2GEAR, to develop the company\u2019s first hydrogen propulsion system for sub-regional aircraft. Hydrogen is expected to play a key role in the decarbonisation strategy of aviation as it can power aircraft efficiently, leaving water as the only by-product. H2GEAR puts GKN Aerospace at the heart of the technology developments needed for the future of more sustainable aviation. The technology will first focus on significantly improving sub-regional aircraft hydrogen powered performance, in turn enabling applications on larger aircraft and longer journeys. The programme is supported by \u00a327M of ATI funding, matched by GKN Aerospace and its industrial partners.<\/p>\n

H2GEAR aims to develop a liquid hydrogen propulsion system for sub-regional aircraft that could be scaled up to larger aircraft. Liquid hydrogen is being converted to electricity within a\u00a0fuel cell<\/a>\u00a0system. This electricity efficiently powers the aircraft, eliminating CO2 emissions. This would create a new generation of clean air travel, eliminating harmful CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n
