TROPHY | Technological Research On Propulsion by HYdrogen

Original description

The hydrogen-powered aircraft will play a significant role towards carbon neutrality targeted by 2050 for the aviation industry as per the European Green Deal. The TROPHY project, which stands for “Technological Research On Propulsion by HYdrogen”, will support the Clean Aviation HYDEA funded project (HYdrogen DEmonstrator for Aviation), which aims at demonstrating the feasibility of hydrogen propulsion on an aircraft engine in a compacted timeframe (2023-2026) up to ground test. One of the TROPHY’s key objectives is to deliver the engine fuel system that will be used for the ground test activities within HYDEA. Another key contribution of TROPHY to the Clean Aviation roadmap is to help in the transition between Phase 1 and Phase 2 by supporting and anticipating the preparation of flight test activities, that will culminate within the Phase 2. TROPHY’s ambition will greatly benefit from a consortium which is heterogenous in nature and spaces from large OEMs to SMEs to RTOs. Six different countries will be involved in the project: France, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Poland and Turkey.
