Summary
Airbus plans to test hydrogen propulsion on its A380 plane by the middle of the decade in hopes of bringing lower-emission fuels to commercial air travel. Other aircraft manufacturers and airlines are also working on reducing carbon emissions, with Airbus focusing on hydrogen while Boeing is looking into sustainable aviation fuels. Storage of hydrogen fuel remains a challenge due to the additional weight it adds to aircraft.
