Hydrogen and zero emissions: the structural test challenges

Airbus has stated intent to fly a flight test demonstrator in 2026. This will support entry into service of a hydrogen fuelled product in 2035. The session will highlight what challenges are to be overcome in the test world and progress made to date, with specific focus on the cryogenic testing challenges to support flight and certification of hydrogen fuelled aircraft.
