Feasibility of Liquid Hydrogen-Fuelled Turbine for Light Aviation
In September 2024, Turbotech, Safran and Air Liquide completed ground demonstration testing of a hydrogenfueled gas turbine aeroengine based on an ultra-efficient regenerative cycle and fed from a liquid hydrogen tank. This demonstration follows a first test phase in January 2024 using hydrogen fuel stored in gaseous form in order to perform an initial characterization of the engine. In this second test phase, the engine was coupled to a cryogenic (–250°C) liquid storage system developed by Air Liquide to demonstrate the end-to-end integration of a propulsion system replicating all functions on a complete aircraft.
Turbotech, Elixir Aircraft, Safran, Air Liquide and Daher formed the BeautHyFuel joint research project in June 2022. The aim of this project is to design and ground test a hydrogen propulsion system rated for light aviation and develop a methodology so it can be certified for retrofit.
