As the climate crisis intensifies, the pressure on the aviation industry to cut emissions increases. And now, the industry has taken a step forward, with a successful test flight of a hydrogen-electric engine, which produces no carbon emissions.
It has since completed over 30 flights with the smaller engine. The company – which already has partnerships with seven aircraft manufacturers – has 1,500 pre-orders for differing engine variants, according to founder and CEO Val Miftakhov at the press conference. Up to 700 of them are for the size of engine that was trialed in the UK on Thursday. “We know the market is there for it, it’s now all about pushing this to the final design,” he added.
Thats all folks
It's a welcome development
Given we’re in a climate emergency, I think CNN and it’s employees should implement a policy of refusing to fly. No more globetrotting, no more first class flights, no more flying your entertainment personalities anywhere, for any reason. We’re in a climate emergency, are we not?
