The engineers of a well-known company specializing in the production of premium cars have created an aircraft engine that runs on pure hydrogen. He will be able to replace analogues on traditional fuel, which harms the planet due to emissions.
Testing was carried out at the test site at Boscombe Down. For testing, experts chose the Rolls-Royce AE 2100-A engine, which is used in civil and military aircraft. The fuel used was hydrogen, which is produced by the energy of winds and tides in the Orkney Islands in Scotland. The test was conducted by Rolls-Royce in collaboration with easyJet as part of the Road yo Zero (Road to a Carbon Free Future) project. This project was initiated by the UN and aims to achieve zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
In the near future, engineers will begin the second phase of testing, during which the ground tests of the Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 jet-powered aircraft will take place. results, as when using 250 thousand liters of jet fuel. Also for the aircraft it will be necessary to supply other fuel tanks, which at the same time must cope with high pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to almost completely change the design of the aircraft. However, Rolls-Royce customers Airbus and Boeing are not afraid of change and are already starting to introduce new hydrogen technologies into their aircraft.
