    Hydrogen powered jets the future of air travel ?

    Airbus wants to launch a plane that is completely CO2 neutral by 2035 with the help of hydrogen-powered engines. It's a big step away from fossil fuels and toward a cleaner future up in the sky.


    EDIT Back in 1988, engineers in what was then the Soviet Union modified a three-engine Tupolev Tu-154 airliner in a way that the right engine was powered by hydrogen. They called the test bed Tu-155.

    I note there's no mention of how expensive and how much energy has to be input to make commercial quantities of hydrogen.
