Airbus teams up to advance green hydrogen availability at airports | Airbus
Airbus has signed a partnership agreement with HyPort, a joint venture between ENGIE Solutions and the Regional Agency for Energy and Climate in Occitanie (AREC), a leader in the development of green hydrogen in France, to support the development of one of the world's first low carbon hydrogen production and distribution stations at an airport.
Construction of the hydrogen station at Toulouse-Blagnac airport was completed earlier this year and the production, storage and distribution systems are currently undergoing final testing. The station which is slated to enter-into service in early 2023 will have a capacity to produce around 400 kg of hydrogen per day, providing the possibility to power some 50 ground transportation vehicles.
Airbus and ArianeGroup to pioneer liquid hydrogen technology | Airbus
Airbus and ArianeGroup, a joint venture equally owned by Airbus and Safran, and a world leader in space propulsion technologies, will work together to build the first liquid hydrogen refuelling facility for ZEROe aircraft at Toulouse, Blagnac airport. The station will be operational in 2025.
ArianeGroup will design, produce and support the operations of the liquid hydrogen fuelling system necessary for Airbus' ZEROe demonstrator as it embarks on its ground and flight test campaign - due to start in the middle of this decade.
Airbus reveals hydrogen-powered zero-emission engine | Airbus
Airbus has revealed that it is developing a hydrogen-powered fuel cell engine. The propulsion system is being considered as one of the potential solutions to equip its zero-emission aircraft that will enter service by 2035.

Clean Aviation SWITCH Project to Advance Hybrid-Electric and Water-Enhanced Turbofan Technologies
The Sustainable Water-Injecting Turbofan Comprising Hybrid-Electrics (SWITCH) project is focused on developing a novel propulsion concept built from two revolutionary and synergetic technologies: Water-Enhanced Turbofan (WET) and hybrid-electric propulsion. By combining these technologies with Pratt & Whitney's GTFTM engine architecture, the SWITCH concept aims to significantly enhance efficiency and substantially reduce emissions across the full operating envelope of an aircraft. Technologies developed as part of SWITCH will be fully compatible with cleaner alternative fuels – such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) — and will be evaluated for future use with hydrogen.

Meet The Airbus Bird Of Prey Concept - To Inspire The Next Generation Of Aircraft Engineers
Unveiled in 2019, Airbus put out a concept for an airliner that was bird-like in its design. However, the manufacturer had stated at the time that its work on the concept wasn't to seriously bring such an aircraft to market. Rather, its goal was to motivate the next generation of aeronautical engineers to think 'outside the box,' with the application of various advanced technologies. Let's revisit this concept and look closer at what Airbus was trying to do.

Rolls-Royce and easyJet today confirmed they have set a new aviation milestone with the world’s first run of a modern aero engine on hydrogen.
The ground test was conducted on an early concept demonstrator using green hydrogen created by wind and tidal power. It marks a major step towards proving that hydrogen could be a zero carbon aviation fuel of the future and is a key proof point in the decarbonisation strategies of both Rolls-Royce and easyJet.
The test took place at an outdoor test facility at MoD Boscombe Down, UK, using a converted Rolls-Royce AE 2100-A regional aircraft engine. Green hydrogen for the tests was supplied by EMEC (European Marine Energy Centre), generated using renewable energy at their hydrogen production and tidal test facility on Eday in the Orkney Islands, UK.

Rolls-Royce low-emission combustion system takes off into flight test phase
Rolls-Royce has successfully entered the final phase of testing it's ALECSys (Advanced Low Emissions Combustion System) demonstrator engine, this time at altitude. The demonstrator took to the skies attached to the Rolls-Royce Boeing 747 Flying Test Bed in Tucson, Arizona, USA. The test programme has included flights up to 40,000 feet as well as a number of engine relights at different conditions, all of which have been successful.
The innovative lean-burn combustion system improves the pre-mixing of fuel and air prior to ignition, enabling cleaner combustion of the fuel, which results in lower NOX and particulate emissions.
The ALECSys engine demonstrator has previously completed a comprehensive set of ground tests, including icing, water ingestion, ground operability, emissions and running on 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

Airbus and ArianeGroup have signed a contract for the next transition batch of Ariane 6 large carbon fibre structures. The contract includes the manufacturing and supply of innovative, large, lightweight structures for the next fourteen Ariane 6 launchers, to be manufactured until 2025. The contract will support ArianeGroup's ramp up to full production rate by then.
Airbus builds up to four carbon fibre structures for each Ariane launcher at its Getafe site, near Madrid. The new state-of-the-art 4.0 industrial facility includes a dedicated manufacturing and assembly line for the Ariane 6 launcher structures. The latest technology innovations have resulted in a reduced mass while delivering a stronger structure in a single piece at a lower cost. The Interface Structure (upper and lower) is the largest space carbon fibre structure ever produced in Europe. The other structures include the Launch Vehicle Adapter, for the upper stage; and the Equipped Solid Rocket upper part of each rocket booster.

TEDAE renueva la autorización a ENAC para la acreditación de entidades conforme al esquema ICOP de certificación del sector aeroespacial
Nota de Prensa
Esta renovación se basa en los nuevos requisitos exigidos en la recientemente reformada norma ISO 9104-1
Para que una entidad pueda certificar en base al esquema ICOP, es necesario que, previamente, haya obtenido la acreditación de ENAC
Madrid, 16 de noviembre de 2022. La Asociación Española de Empresas Tecnológica de Defensa, Seguridad, Aeronáutica y Espacio (TEDAE), ha renovado, tras el correspondiente proceso de evaluación, la autorización a ENAC, la Entidad Nacional d Acreditación como el único organismo en España habilitado para acreditar a las entidades de certificación que operan en el marco del esquema de certificación de sector aeroespacial ICOP (Industry Controlled Other Party); en concreto, en base a los nuevos requisitos exigidos en la norma ISO 9104-1, recientemente reformada, con el objetivo reforzar la alineación entre la industria y las exigencias actuales para la certificación de sistemas de gestión de IAF, la organización internacional de acreditadores en materia de certificación.
En este sentido, como viene sucediendo desde que la industria aeroespacial designó por primera vez a ENAC en 2002, para que una entidad pueda certificar en base al esquema ICOP, es necesario que haya superado el proceso de evaluación de ENAC y, por tanto, haya obtenido la pertinente acreditación.
Con esta renovación, se pone de manifiesto, una vez más, el compromiso de ENAC con el esquema de certificación aeroespacial en su objetivo de transmitir confianza a las industrias de la Aviación, el Espacio y la Defensa sobre la competencia de las certificadoras acreditadas para evaluar la conformidad de los sistemas de gestión de la calidad aeroespacial (AQMS - Aerospace Quality Management System).
