By Pilar Wolfsteller2021-02-12T13:03:00+00:00 Disruptive alternative propulsion will not come to aviation in leaps and bounds, but will require time, significant investment and partnerships between major manufacturers and small, nimble start-ups. That is according to aerospace propulsion experts who spoke on 11 February during a sustainability-focused webinar hosted by FlightGlobal. They note that while clean-energy propulsion may take years to develop, the pandemic has forced the industry to take a closer look at how next-generation technologies are developed, tested and introduced. The sector must also re-examine how to best contribute to climate change discussions. “We are seeing a huge opportunity for us to completely reset, go at sustainability from an aerospace perspective and actually start making some fundamental changes,” says Neil Cloughley, managing director of UK aviation start-up Faradair. ....
Airbus exploring hydrogen fuel cell propellor “pods” for aircraft propulsion Airbus is conducting studies to determine how scalable a hydrogen fuel cell “pod” configuration, among others, could be to large commercial aircraft. The aviation industry has developed numerous configurations twinjet, s-duct, winglets, contra-rotating propellers over the last five decades that have enabled aircraft to fly higher, faster and longer. Now, Airbus engineers are unveiling a new configuration as part of the ZEROe program (earlier post) that could enable a passenger aircraft to fly farther than ever without emissions. The innovative approach consists of six, eight-bladed hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered “pods” mounted beneath the aircraft wing. ....
Bethell – ‘stronger than ever’ Published by : Bobby Griffin (BEC) England’s Daniel Bethell says he is in a better position now than before the COVID-19 pandemic began.

This event has been eagerly awaited, in a year where few tournaments survived, explains Bethell - for me it has been even longer since I’ve played a tournament. Where many competed in South America in the Spring, I haven’t played since Japan in November last year. It has been a really different experience this year compared to last, where we were travelling around the world almost monthly for a qualifying tournament for The Games ....
