Rolls-Royce and EasyJet Test Hydrogen Propulsion System
The UK-based low-cost carrier and the aircraft engines group are collaborating on plans to develop a direct combustion hydrogen powertrain for narrowbody airliners.
Rolls-Royce and EasyJet used an AE2100 A turboprop engine for ground tests with a concept for a hydrogen propulsion system that could power airliners.
