Partnership Developing Liquid Hydrogen Fuel Systems for Zero
GKN Aerospace, Marshall and Parker Aerospace are leveraging their world-leading capabilities to collaborate under a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at exploring liquid hydrogen fuel system solutions for the next generation of zero emission aircraft. Hydrogen propulsion, whether through fuel cells or combustion, is considered a critical pathway for the aviation industry to achieve its ambitious goal of net zero emissions by 2050. This partnership marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of sustainable aviation.

New Fuels on Horizon Could Power a New Era of Flight
While aircraft prototypes are fueled by batteries, hydrogen or ammonia offer promising routes and they are immature and lack sufficient pedigree to be broadly adopted today. In contrast, SAF shares technological similarities with conventional jet fuel, but is purported to reduce overall CO2 lifecycle emissions by 80 percent versus. conventionally-obtained jet fuel.

Partnership To Develop a Fuel Cell eBuffer for Airbus’ ZEROe
Parker Meggitt is working with Airbus to build energy storage equipment that will support electric propulsion. The eBuffer will maximize safety, efficiency and weight while balancing electric and mechanical constraints. The eBuffer will be an important piece of the electrical system that will complement the fuel cell's primary power source and, therefore, would be one of the integral components of the Airbus ZEROe demonstrator aircraft.
