The group is made up of Heathrow, London City, HIAL, GKN Aerospace, Rolls-Royce, Cranfield Aerospace, UCL, Cranfield University, Southampton University, Deloitte, easyJet, British Airways and Loganair.
The findings revealed hydrogen-fuelled aircraft concepts that carry between 40 and 90 passengers flying up to 1,400 nautical miles could be deployed across the UK’s domestic route network and into Europe by the end of the next decade.
The first hydrogen-fuelled flights – on small, modified aircraft, such as that in development by Cranfield Aerospace – could be possible by 2026.
