Hydrogen may be the fuel of the future, but some maintain it’s probably best used to create sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) rather than a direct fuel source for hydrogen-powered aircraft that do not yet exist today. At least that’s what Rolls-Royce’s senior v-p of strategy Frank Moesta during a panel session discussion as part of the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition held in Geneva last month.
“To be honest, I’m not a big fan of thinking about burning hydrogen in an aircraft,” Moesta declared. He would prefer to see hydrogen being used to create eFuels—a synthetic form of SAF—rather than develop aircraft with entirely different propulsion systems. This is despite the fact that his own company, one of the world's leading aircraft engine manufacturers, is involved in developing new hydrogen propulsion systems, working with partners including EasyJet.
