Australia in 4 hours

NEW hydrogen engine technology being developed by Destinus could allow an aircraft to fly from Europe to Australia in only 4 hours and 15 minutes.

CDTI, the Spanish Centre for Technological Development and Innovation, has selected Destinus for its Aeronautical Technology Plan (PTA) project. The company has received €12 million to develop the first hydrogenpowered aircraft engine and promote the development of supersonic hydrogenfuelled flights.

The money given for the research and development of the engine comes from the European Commission’s Next Generation funds for the Spanish government, as reported on Thursday, March 30, by a news source.

Destinus already has two hydrogen prototypes Jungfrau and Eiger and is currently working on a gas turbine equipped with a hydrogen afterburner to be tested before the middle of this year.

Specifically, the aid from the Spanish government will be used for the design and construction of a test bench for engines with hydrogen as fuel.

With current planes, the journey from Europe to Australia takes approximately 20 hours.
