Delta Air Lines will help planemaker Airbus in its effort to develop a hydrogen-powered passenger airplane.
Airbus has plans to produce a small "ZEROe" passenger aircraft powered by hydrogen to enter service in 2035. ZEROe concepts are hybrid-hydrogen aircraft. They are powered by hydrogen combustion through modified gas turbine engines. Liquid hydrogen is used as fuel for combustion with oxygen.
Boeing has been skeptical about commercial prospects for hydrogen-powered air transport by 2035, putting greater focus on sustainable aviation fuels.
Delta is one of the biggest customers of Airbus.
