05 Feb LH2 direct refueling and tank swapping tested at international airports
Innovative solutions addressed within the project, LH2 direct aircraft refueling and tank swapping, will be demonstrated at two European airports: Milan-Malpensa International Airport and a reference airport in Paris. This approach allows the ALRIGH2T project to cover various types of airports and inspire other airports or potential pathways to replicate the developed solutions.
Specifically, ALRIGH2T will develop and test full-scale hydrogen-powered aviation technologies with the ultimate goal of bringing these solutions to the market and realizing advancements crucial for the future deployment of LH2-powered aircraft.
Finding compromise solutions will be necessary to ensure the proper supply of hydrogen to aircraft, correct ground movements at the airport, and the establishment of new clauses and standardization policies governing the implementation and replication of these solutions in other airports.
ALRIGH2T project consortium kick-off meeting held on January 25th at ENEA facilities in Brussels.
