The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has announced the extension and expansion of its Hydrogen Challenge with the launch of a second phase.
This initiative aims to accelerate the development of hydrogen propulsion, airport infrastructure, and aircraft systems to support the transition to zero-carbon aviation.
The next stage of the initiative will focus on:
- Aircraft innovation – Designing and testing new aircraft that use hydrogen fuel cells and remotely piloted systems to reduce carbon emissions.
- Airport infrastructure – Implementing safe storage and refuelling solutions to support a national hydrogen network.
- Scientific research – Expanding knowledge of hydrogen fuel through studies conducted by leading aeronautical institutes.
- Flight trials and safety assessments – Conducting tests to refine hydrogen propulsion performance and ensure regulatory compliance.
