Japan has selected research themes for funding support under a program to develop hydrogen-electric propulsion technologies for next-gen commercial aircraft.
The future hydrogen airliner could be in the skies by 2035.
Investments into this aviation project total JP¥5 trillion ($33 billion), with funding coming from both the private and public sectors. That said, the government is providing more than just funding support for the initiative. It is also supporting the establishment of global technology standards, refining testing methods and stable parts procurement.
