Our purpose in action

Could hydrogen fuel-cell systems be the solution for emission-free aviation?

Products & Services

The holy grail of aircraft propulsion is to provide power without any emissions. One of the most promising candidates is the hydrogen fuel-cell. Here we explain how Airbus and its partners are helping to drive the technology forward to be ready for flight demonstrations.
