NASA is funding a project to develop a new approach for a fully electric aircraft platform that uses cryogenic liquid hydrogen as an energy storage method.
NASA will provide $6 million over the course of three years to fund CHEETA – the Center for Cryogenic High-Efficiency Electrical Technologies for Aircraft – with the aim being to develop an environmentally-friendly plane.
The research proposes a fundamental shift away from jet fuel towards more sustainable energy sources for aviation, and the introduction of new electrically-driven propulsion systems for commercial aircraft systems.
