EasyJet and Rolls-Royce<\/strong> today announced a ground-breaking new partnership that will pioneer the development of hydrogen combustion engine technology capable of powering a range of aircraft, including those in the narrow-body market segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both companies have committed to working together on a series of engine tests on the ground, starting later this year and have a shared ambition to take the technology into the air . The objective of the partnership is to demonstrate that hydrogen has the potential to power a range of aircraft from the mid-2030s onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Rolls-Royce will bring its expertise in engine development and combustion systems, easyJet will contribute its operational knowledge and experience and will also directly invest in the test programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this programme, the companies will support an early concept ground test of a Rolls-Royce AE 2100 engine in the UK later this year. This will be followed by a full-scale ground test of a Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 jet engine – a range of location options are being assessed for this including the Rolls-Royce test facility in Mississippi, USA. The programme will build on initial hydrogen combustion and fuel system rig tests that Rolls-Royce is undertaking with both Cranfield and Loughborough universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement announced today follows a research project that both companies began in 2021, developing market analysis, driving specifications, investigating infrastructure and regulatory requirements to support the use of hydrogen in aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn order to achieve net zero by 2050, we have always said that radical action is needed to address aviation\u2019s climate impact. That\u2019s why today, we are so pleased to announce this partnership with Rolls-Royce”, Johan Lundgren, CEO of easyJet said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a big step forward for Rolls-Royce and we are excited to be working with a partner that shares a desire to innovate and find new answers to aviation\u2019s biggest challenges”, Grazia Vittadini, Chief Technology and Strategy Officer, Rolls-Royce said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
