If one thing has become clear at last week’s Farnborough Airshow, it was that Rolls-Royce is getting ever-more committed to hydrogen. The engine maker announced a couple of technology developments related to hydrogen as well as hybrid-electric as well as a partnership with easyJet in its quest for more sustainable aviation. We discussed some in a bit more detail with Alan Newby, Director of Aerospace Technology and Future Programmes. Rolls-Royce is getting more committed to hydrogen.

As reported earlier last week, Rolls-Royce announced a “leading-edge” hydrogen research program that includes ground tests later this year with an AE2100 turboprop engine, to be followed by tests on a Pearl 15 jet engine. This builds on its hydrogen research project with Loughborough University and German aerospace research center DLR.
