Newborn Power System Integration Ahead Of Ground Trials
Honeywell Aerospace and its partners in the European Newborn programme have successfully integrated a hydrogen power source capable of generating electricity for an aircraft. The milestone advances the consortium towards a complete megawatt-class hydrogen-electric propulsion demonstrator. The project, funded by the European Union, involves 18 companies from 10 European countries and aims to deliver a technology demonstrator for further development of hydrogen-electric propulsion. This development was reported by Defence Industry Europe.
