Hydrogen Technologies
Hydrogen as an energy storage will play a key role in transforming aviation into a zero-carbon / climate-neutral system over the next few decades.
Electric Propulsion
Novel and disruptive aircraft, aero engine and systems innovations in combination with hydrogen technologies can help to reduce the global warming effect of flying by 50% to 90%.
Alternative Fuels
Alternative fuels have at least the potential to be a bridging technology until completely emission-free flying is achieved.
Such alternatives can be, for example, solar fuels, fuels from biomass or biogenic kerosene additives.
New Materials
Materials science has made great progress over the past decades. It can be expected that the pace of development will rather increase due to the social and political pressure to reduce the carbon footprint.
Which materials or multi-materials will determine the future cannot be foreseen today.
AIRTEC 2022 is the event where the latest developments are discussed.
Weight Reduction
In aviation, weight reduction leads directly to a reduction in pollutant emissions. There are many different ways to reduce weight.
On the one hand, this can be the use of materials with improved properties.
On the other hand, for example, a fundamentally different way of constructing components in order to use the specific advantages of additive manufacturing.
NEW A/C CONCEPTS
Today and tomorrow there will be completely new concepts that will ensure more efficient, climate-friendly and climate-neutral flying.
For example, blended wing design could fundamentally change the shape of aircrafts and propfan engines promise a big reduction in fuel consumption.
"Aviation will decarbonise faster than people would expect. Hydrogen Europe is happy to become a AIRTEC partner to push this forward. Let’s make it happen!"
"Very good highly qualified contacts from the aerospace industry, defence and mobility. Also from the Cargo field. Experts met from the aerospace industry and the new mobility. A top event. We will exhibit again at Airtec 22 and will become a sponsor."
