Airbus is laying plans to develop hydrogen-powered helicopters. During a December 9 presentation to the Wichita Aero Club on the European aircraft maker’s zero-emissions commercial airliner program, Airbus Americas v-p of research and technology Amanda Simpson said its ZeroE project could be adapted to its rotorcraft. The group's Airbus Helicopters division now claims more than a 50 percent share of the civilian rotorcraft market.
“There are certainly thoughts about that,” Simpson said. “Our focus right now is on the airliner. I cannot go into some of the specifics that are planned for the helicopter side of the company because we haven’t made those public yet, but there’s some interesting ideas out there and some are actually in demonstration today. So maybe some exciting news soon...it’s not my place to burst the bubble on those.”
