F-WWOW is a legendary aircraft! Thanks to this plane many A380s are now flying around the world and I’m sure, this aircraft will be very useful in many new Airbus’s investigations 👍✈️
the 380 is no longer being built. not enough buyers. an engineering marvel. they knew that it would fly, before they built it. imagine the mathematics, engineering, metallurgy, chemistry, physics, and God knows what else that were involved in its design. Now hydrogen powered engines? This is the Ford model A engine of the jet age. We have been flying since Kitty Hawk less than 120 years Just imagine engines a 120 years from now.
Nice, I'm happy to see that the very first A380 will play a key role in the next years as part of the evolution of Airbus and all of commercial aviation. Thank you for explaining! ;)
When the A3xx was first talked about in the late 90s, it was always talked about as being hydrogen fuelled. They talked about how it could fly from the UK to Australia and halfway back on one tank. Why has it taken so long?? I used to work at BAE in Broughton.
Very impressed to see how soon Airbus is planning to de-carbonise air travel. When they pull this off by 2035, imagine what's possible for other fossil dependent industries incl. road transport, shipping vessels and other heavy industries such as steel and cement making. People need to have a more positive outlook on the future as smart engineering will come with solutions for this climate crises.
This is really cool. Very in formative and really very well presented video. I'm really excited to see what this will bring to aviation! All the best. 👍
You can do something like this if the engine you’re installing for testing is stronger than the other/normal Engines on the aircraft as you could still have an even amount of thrust during e.g. take off. The hydrogen engine will be weaker than the Trent 900s, hence it’s installed on the side. Pratt and Whitney Canada has two 747SPs which use a similar engine setup with the test engine being installed on the upper deck.
@@spongebubatz hum... thanks ! Although, I thought that largely empty a380 would be well below MTOW so they could have a weaker engine and reduce thrust on the other one on the other side.
I think they can even test (if they make one) a Hydrogen Engine as the size of the current A380 engine (or maybe bigger) to make the plane more ecologic
Please Airbus, i ask you to don't change the paint of this legendary plane, a day, if i want to fly in a exact plane, it's this plane, i don't want a denaturalize this plane with your simulations. PLEASE KEEP THIS LEGENDARY PLANE A LEGENDARY PLANE AIRBUS and please after give it to aeroscopia museum next to the A380 msn 002
The fly in the ointment is that liquid hydrogen has one fourth the energy density of gasoline per liter. While its caloric energy density is much higher than gasoline per liter, about 3x by weight, the volumetric problem is insurmountable. You will need fuel tanks 4x the size of your current fuel tanks to get the same range. And those fuel tanks have to be strong enough to contain high pressure hydrogen (5000 to 10000 PSI) or be cryogenic, cooling the LH to less than 20 degrees Kelvin. Hydrogen can not be made liquid by any amount of pressure at room temperature. (Jet fuel only has a small energy density advantage over gasoline, incidentally.) Your zero emission plane may be possible. But it will have a huge penalty to pay in range or payload or both.
I suppose this will be expected by airbus, not that they will talk about it much. but maybe this is going to be aimed at smaller aircraft for short haul journeys? that will give them their 'zero emission' aircraft and then they can use the technology in conjunction with standard engines to improve the efficiency on other aircraft?
Hate to be that fly in your ointment but why talk about caloric density relating to liquid hydrogen when you talk about energy density just a bit earlier? Caloric is for food related energy and even if, in biochemistry we rarely use calories when calculating energetic metabolic processes like Gibbs free energy. We just use joules. Also, all of what you talked about is volumetric energy density. Liquids and gasses occupy the same principles. Liquids are basically super dense gasses. What you probably meant is volumetric energy density of hydrogen in standard pressure is one fourth of gasoline. But you are absolutely right, provided hydrogen wont be stored in liquid state, volume is the biggest issue which will result in range or payload cuts. Perhaps zero emissions flight will only be regional. I’m pretty sure it’s only going to be regional.
@@hodb3906 Clearly you don't understand the difference between calories and Calories. You must have not taken a chemistry class, or you failed it. It's a means of measuring thermal energy in a chemical reaction whether it's food or fuel.
@@MrSkeedle The only thing that makes commercial air travel economically viable is economies of scale. Longer distance, more passengers or cargo, these things are required to make it affordable. Hydrogen fueled aircraft would have shorter range or carry fewer passengers and cargo, or both, which breaks the economic justification for air travel.
@@Turboy65 theres definitely a lot more to it than that though. many companies do things that may have direct negatives but cause other benefits. like a store selling something that causes them to lose money, but whilst the customer is there they are spending on other things that makes them more money
Hydrogen is very new for a commercial airplane. For instance, we just got the engine design and next year we should we the final plane design with propulsion and 12 years is very short in aviation. Also, no airports have hydrogen as fuel, so that will take time.
Airbus it's a reference ,if any person want to see or hear the just value of the quality or serious , he , she must visit Airbus training or manufacturing . Best regards
@@spongebubatz Yeah that's true, living near Toulouse airport I'm more than happy. The downside is to see this historic airframe modified..like Frankenstein ! I'd prefer to see its original beauty forever ! :D
Nothing the plane can fly without it. The aim is to develop and test the engine and the fuel system before beginning a clean sheet design for a zero CO2 aircraft.
I hear too much stuff about hydrogen being expensive, heavy (the whole system), impossible to produce in required quantities and so on, that I am very sceptical about this. I would love Airbus to prove me (and many others) wrong.though.
J ai toujours cru depuis le debut de cet formidable aventure Aero-Airbussien que l'ont prouveraient aux monde entier que l on peut volé sans abimé la couche d'ozonne. Affaire a suivre et Avenir.
Does this mean Airbus is going to start the A380 production again but the emission will be zero and will be operated by hydrogen or Airbus is going to collect the A380s around the world one by one and add the hydrogen engine?
Hydrogen won’t solve the problem of fuel consumption, one of the main problem airlines had with the A380. The price for fuel is too high and Hydrogen will rather make this price go up as it’s still hard to obtain.
…this is the only middle to long term viable clean durable alternative fuel for modern turbine powered aviation engines. It will require adapting and changing airplanes hull shapes to fit either spherical or cylindrical tank storage systems. We still need to find out a clean durable way to deliver massive amounts of hydrogen & develop a safe operating environment, as a fuel leak is nothing like a hydrogen leak in an aircraft. Last but not least, will conventional fuel companies fairly play the game to promote this not so new source of energy? Future will tell!!!!
That's really awesome and I can't wait to see the results! Check out this video on why Hydrogen makes a good fuel --> th-cam.com/video/YSLv5RHxgoA/w-d-xo.html
This is the dead end. Waste of time. 2 main problems: 1.) How do you want to store high explosive liquid hydrogen? In wings? If not, then where? Extra weight will not pay off. Hydrogen is highly explosive. If the hydrogen plane would be 1.000x more secure then Zeppelins, it will be burried by media which will cause a big fear between potential customers and passengers. 2.) You can not find hydrogen on Earth in free form. You have to produce it. For production you need a lot of electricity. To produce electricity you need a lot of other sustainable or not sustainable energy sources.
This is exactly what this test campaign is for. Hydrogen powered cars have proven its possible, now its just about scaling up the system and production.
I don't know if airbus learn from the past. The airbus A380 failed because it was not economical for the airliners. Hydrogen tech will have a similar fate as well (I don't see it as an economical solution). Developing hydrogen on an A380 is a perfect marriage of flops.
F-WWOW is a legendary aircraft! Thanks to this plane many A380s are now flying around the world and I’m sure, this aircraft will be very useful in many new Airbus’s investigations 👍✈️
Indeed, a legendary aircraft
Airbus is revolutionizing the whole aviation industry a big step forward... can't wait to see the next! Kudos Airbus ❤

Wow, this is the future and its happening now, amazing
Go Airbus! The future is exciting!
Nice! The coolest Airbus gets used for the coolest new Technology. Fits good.
Finally a big step for Airbus . It's sure that Airbus is going to revolutionize the whole aviation industry . Good luck Airbus .

Because flying on fossils is cheap and nobody is forcing them to do it. Hopefully we get this project off the ground soon.
I'm glad he made it abundantly clear at 1:45; the engine will be on the OUTSIDE of the aircraft.

Combustion can produce also ozone o3?
Good luck boss, can't wait for the results.

My fave aircraft A380💝💞
I've heard one of the downsides of running an internal combustion engine is NOx emissions, will this be the case for jet engines also?
Nice!!! This is a very good invention!!! :D
PLEASE BRING BACK THE A380
Porque vocês pararam de fabricar o A380?
it isn't make a lot of money, they just want money
Airbus 😍🥰
Hum, why did you add a 5 engine instead of replacing one of the other 4?
You can do something like this if the engine you’re installing for testing is stronger than the other/normal Engines on the aircraft as you could still have an even amount of thrust during e.g. take off.

@@spongebubatz hum... thanks ! Although, I thought that largely empty a380 would be well below MTOW so they could have a weaker engine and reduce thrust on the other one on the other side.
I'm asking me if the engines are louder
A380 is the quitest aircraft on the market already
The engine will have similar noise levels as conventional engines have today, or better as engines will have in 10-15 years
stub means?
I think they can even test (if they make one) a Hydrogen Engine as the size of the current A380 engine (or maybe bigger) to make the plane more ecologic
You're right! I really hope so... :D
A380 Neo moment😅😅
I love Airbus A380 and A350 ❤❤ 😘😍
And the A330/A340 💚
That's cool!! hope to collaborate with you in the future of Hydrogen!

All the best!
Best wishes
the soviet union already did this with the tu-155, it flew but idk why hydrogen isn't used yet
Because of cost and availability
Kenapa hanya 1 mesin kenapa tidak 2 mesin pak?
Then what happens to the back door
This means that the A380 must be used at least until 2050 ( maybe)
After testing it will probably not be used on a380 it are tests for the zero e
Wish future Liquid Hydrogen will be more affordable than Jet Fuel.....🛫🤓
wow amazing! It is known who is going to provide the engine?
General Electric. Airbus and GE partnered up to create this masterpiece :D
The Airbus A380s may restart by this method of adding hydrogen.
That's grt turnover, Is it the additional engine you gonna mount on the aircraft, or only the hydrogen engine only?
There will be a fifth engine installed on the side of the aircraft which is hydrogen only
I love a320
0:15 LOL! For a second there i thought he was going to say "And now our plan is to take this aircraft...and modify it into...a hydrogen..bomb".
Hopefully they change the livery of the a380 into an zeroE livery
Airbus make it possible!
love it so excited for more updates as an avgeek and climate activist
Yes kudos to Airbus for taking a giant leap in hydrogen. Is the engine of Airbus' own design or from Rolls-Royce?
Airbus develops these engines together with CFM INTERNATIONAL
CHICLAYO PERU 🇵🇪 💪 💪
😍 GO AIRBUS....💪
Looks good.
Does this mean that the A380 will be making a comeback?
May be in coming years
Zero emissions. What about NOX ?
This sounds promising
Why 2035?
Hydrogen is very new for a commercial airplane. For instance, we just got the engine design and next year we should we the final plane design with propulsion and 12 years is very short in aviation. Also, no airports have hydrogen as fuel, so that will take time.
Please make a hydrogen powered a380

That's very exciting, but at the same time it is sad that the 001 will be modified (probably forever)...
How is that sad? It continues flying, probably for many years to come :D
@@spongebubatz Yeah that's true, living near Toulouse airport I'm more than happy. The downside is to see this historic airframe modified..like Frankenstein ! I'd prefer to see its original beauty forever ! :D
2025 ? There's no way they make that deadline is there ?
2035. But still, very challenging deadline to meet
Ok, there's one thing I don't understand is, what will be the work of this one hydrogen engine?
Nothing the plane can fly without it. The aim is to develop and test the engine and the fuel system before beginning a clean sheet design for a zero CO2 aircraft.
New engines and especially new ways of propulsion have to thoroughly tested before an aircraft can fly powered only by them
Dude, why do you have subtitles? LOL!
It's for those who don't understand English you dummy. ;-P
I hear too much stuff about hydrogen being expensive, heavy (the whole system), impossible to produce in required quantities and so on, that I am very sceptical about this. I would love Airbus to prove me (and many others) wrong.though.
Just move the emisions to the power plants !!!!!
