Rolls-Royce has prepared a hydrogen engine, now it will be used in airplanes!

The need for conventional fuel in airplanes may now end. Rolls-Royce has succeeded in creating an engine that will run on hydrogen. After this, the traditional fuel used in airplanes till now can be got rid of and the aviation industry can shift to gas fuel. The biggest advantage of this would be that it would also help in reducing the amount of carbon in the earth’s atmosphere. For this, the company has also done ground test.

Rolls-Royce (Rolls-Royce) has experimented by converting a regional aircraft engine into a hydrogen engine. The company has succeeded in running the engine of the aircraft AE 2100 with green hydrogen, ie a gas that is prepared from wind, tidal power. British company on Monday press release I announced and informed about this success. The company has achieved this success together with its project partner Easy Jet. Both companies want to prove that hydrogen can become a safe fuel for civil aviation.

This experiment is still in its initial stages. Both the companies have also made preparations to conduct long tests for this. In the second test, it will be used for long flight. Hydrogen is being considered as an alternative that can help the aviation industry reach its carbon emission zero level by 2050. Plane maker Airbus is also working with French engine maker CFM International to conduct experiments on hydrogen propulsion technology.

However, the plane maker told the European Union in 2021 that it is unlikely to completely get rid of conventional fuel engines by 2050, as most airlines will rely on conventional jet engines until that time. Along with this, it is also necessary to pay attention to this aspect that if the aviation industry shifts to hydrogen, then the infrastructure of the airports will have to be completely redesigned. Along with this, the airframes will also have to be redesigned.

Rolls-Royce Other than this electric aircraft It is also working on engines that can be used for short distance flights. However, this development is still at a very small level. It is being said that it may take a long time to make it available to the entire industry.
