This, coupled with our partnership with ATI, will allow us to leverage our respective expertise to realise the potential of hydrogen technology to support the decarbonisation of the aviation industry,\u201d said Sabine Klauke, Airbus Chief Technical Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology development at the new UK ZEDC, to be based in Filton, Bristol, has already started and will cover the full product capabilities from components up to whole system and cryogenic testing. End-to-end fuel systems development, a speciality of Airbus in the UK, is one of the most complex technologies crucial to the performance of a future hydrogen aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/05\/airbus-sets-record-production-target-for-a320-family.html\">Airbus sets record production target for A320 family.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ZEDC complements Airbus\u2019 existing Research and Technology footprint in the UK, as well as the work on cryogenic liquid hydrogen tanks being done at Airbus\u2019 existing ZEDCs in Madrid, Spain and Stade, Germany (composite structure technologies) and in Nantes, France and Bremen, Germany (metallic structural technologies). All Airbus ZEDCs are expected to be fully operational and ready for ground testing with the first fully functional cryogenic hydrogen tank during 2023, and with flight testing starting in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this new facility, Airbus reaffirms its long-term commitment to remain a major player in Britain\u2019s world-leading aerospace ecosystem, working with the Jet Zero Council to drive forward research in the sector, supporting green jobs and helping the UK meet its ambitious net zero targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch of the UK ZEDC follows the opening of the \u00a340 million AIRTeC research and testing facility in Filton in June 2021, jointly funded by the ATI and Airbus, to deliver the next generation of aircraft wing, landing-gear systems and fuel system designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top
