into this technology to get something out? zeroavia has the backing of the uk government and big investors and has over 2,000 pre orders from airlines. so there seems to be significant belief in hydrogen despite all of the challenges. but what i really want to know is. are we going to be able to jet off to spain anytime soon in a hydrogen plane? history shows that you need to start small and grow big. and that growth would take a while. but if this could be scaled to the largest of planes, then the difference to emissions would be jumbo. you know, it sounds like, if they can get it right, hydrogen planes could be a massive deal. yeah. it s as much about the infrastructure, though. they ve got a lot to do. right, 0k, noted. 0k, we re going from the air to the sea now. you might not think of the world s oceans as a great source of green
needs to be certified. we need to provide the hydrogen infrastructure to the, uh, to the aircraft. zeroavia has a plan for that. in its vision, hydrogen would be produced on site at airports using renewable energy before being processed and transported out to the plane. but what about the cost of all this? at the moment, liquid hydrogen is significantly more expensive than conventionaljet fuel, but backers of hydrogen planes believe it will eventually become cheaper than traditional flight. zeroavia isn t the only company racing to reimagine air travel, though. aerospace giants like airbus and boeing are also developing hydrogen planes. but there are still questions over how sustainable they ll actually be. we re going to be using some fairly exotic materials that are very energy intensive to arrive at. what energy are you using to build the fuel cell? what materials are you using? how much energy are we sinking

making everything fit isn t the only challenge, though. you need to have the maintenance and repair organisation. the whole process needs to be certified. we need to provide the hydrogen infrastructure to the, uh, to the aircraft. zeroavia has a plan for that. in its vision, hydrogen would be produced on site at airports using renewable energy before being processed and transported out to the plane. but what about the cost of all this? at the moment, liquid hydrogen is significantly more expensive than conventionaljet fuel, but backers of hydrogen planes believe it will eventually become cheaper than traditional flight. zeroavia isn t the only company racing to reimagine air travel, though. aerospace giants like airbus and boeing are also developing hydrogen planes. but there are still questions over how sustainable they ll actually be.
and that probably means completely redesigning the plane. everything will be shrunk. some parts of the engine, of the fuel cell, will be sitting inside of the nacelle, and also the storage tank, which is, uh, going to be probably the largest, uh, you know, piece of equipment they will actually bring outside, 0k? right. so either on the side of the fuselage, or we will hang it on the wing. making everything fit isn t the only challenge, though. you need to have the maintenance and repair organisation. the whole process needs to be certified. we need to provide the hydrogen infrastructure to the, uh, to the aircraft. zeroavia has a plan for that. in its vision, hydrogen would be produced on site at airports using renewable energy before being processed and transported out to the plane. but what about the cost of all this? at the moment, liquid hydrogen is significantly more expensive
