European Union (EU) efforts to achieve a net zero carbon future for aviation by 2050 are being stepped up with the launch of a flurry of research and development projects under the auspices of the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking. Much of the work will focus on developing regional airliners to decarbonize short-haul flying, with prominent aerospace groups—including Honeywell, Collins Aerospace, Textron, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, and GE Aviation—playing key roles.
At the end of January, Honeywell confirmed that it is leading Project Newborn, working with 17 other partners from 10 European countries to develop a megawatt-cell hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system. Initially, the resulting technology is expected to be integrated into a demonstrator aircraft by Textron eAviation subsidiary Pipistrel, building on recently completed work under the Unifier19 project (see below). Honeywell said that the technology is intended for use with a variety of hybrid-electric, short-haul airliners.
