Hydrogen aviation

This development promises to revolutionise short and medium-range flights, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil-fuel-powered aviation.

According to Professor Tomas Grönstedt of Chalmers University, the first commercial hydrogen flights in Sweden could take off as early as 2028. “If everything falls into place, the commercialisation of hydrogen flight can go really fast now,” says Grönstedt, who also directs the TechForH2 competence centre at Chalmers.

In the university’s state-of-the-art wind tunnels, researchers are developing more energy-efficient engines that pave the way for safe and efficient hydrogen flight for heavy-duty vehicles.
