How Airbus Is Designing Its First Innovative Cryogenic Hydrogen Tanks?
Two Zero Emission Development Centers (ZEDCs) established by Airbus carry out the innovative tank design.

The aviation industry is responsible for nearly 2.5% of global carbon emissions.
Changing both propulsion system and aircraft design in one go would push targeted entry into service target by several years, Airbus executive says.
The manufacturer may postpone its zero-emissions aircraft if there is no indication green hydrogen will be at scale in time for entry into service.
Airbus' ZEROe cryogenic hydrogen fuel tanks are expected to be ready for demonstration in 2026.
The gliders will fly at 33,000 feet with support from the record-holding Perlan Project high-altitude glider pilots.
While some airlines have already written off the A380 as a thing of the past, Airbus has done quite a few impressive things with its very first A380.
The planemaker sent its A380 testbed on a three-hour sustainable fuel mission, making it the third Airbus type to operate 100% SAF in 12 months.
Airbus hopes to introduce a hydrogen-powered aircraft into service by 2035.
What made the manufacturer choose the giant of the skies?
The A380 being fitted with hydrogen propulsion is MSN001.
