Our pioneering spirit is alive and well as we explore new propulsion technologies.
At Airbus, we are committed to developing, building and testing alternative-propulsion systems, powered by electric, hydrogen, solar and even hybrid solutions that bridge more than one of these energy sources.
Exploring energy paths for a decarbonised aviation
Airbus has developed a structured and modular energy transformation roadmap applicable to all of its aerospace solutions. The roadmap includes a range of energy-related technologies such as incremental improvements with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), new hybrid-electric engine design and future electric flight. We are running these technical solutions in parallel and continuously refining their potential to meet our decarbonisation ambition.
