Airbus Summit - Future Aircraft

Developing future aircraft technologies

FUTURE AIRCRAFT

At Airbus, we are reinventing aviation so that future generations will not be limited in their ability to travel, discover, trade and connect. Our future aircraft will be designed with this vision in mind, guiding us towards a new era of aviation focused on reducing the climate impact of flight.

At the Airbus Summit 2025, provided updates on the promising technologies we are developing for the next-generation single aisle, the eventual successor to our A320 Family of aircraft. We also provided updates on the status of our hydrogen-powered ZEROe aircraft project.

We are developing these lower-emission aircraft from the bottom up, designing new architectures from scratch and investing in improving aerodynamic performance and fuel efficiency.

HYDROGEN-POWERED FLIGHT

Launched in 2020, ZEROe is our ambition to bring hydrogen-powered flight to life. We’ve spent the last few years exploring the merits of two different propulsion technologies: hydrogen combustion and hydrogen fuel cells.
