Booklet: R&D More electric and hydrogen-electric powered aerospace
Hydrogen as a fuel is considered to be an important route towards future sustainable aviation. For aviation
applications, hydrogen presents several key advantages: it allows for the elimination of carbon emissions in
flight and along the entire life cycle. Its usage in fuel cells allows eliminating NOx and particles. When burnt
in a turbine engine, very low particle emissions can be expected, as well as reduced NOx emissions, provided that the combustion system is optimised. However, water vapour emissions need to be carefully managed.

High-voltage distribution technologies for hybrid-electric aircraft
Flying electric is already possible for small aircraft. However, electric power levels need to increase drastically to be able to have large sized airplanes flying (hybrid) electric for regional use. Coordinated by Collins Aerospace the Clean Aviation HECATE project aims to demonstrate the possibilities by 2025.

Reducing lead time and cost with early EMC compliance
Royal NLR has a long history as a one-stop shop for environmental testing and certification in aviation as well as the space sector. A good example being the NLR’s electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) facility, which offers its customers unrivaled modelling and testing programs to qualify electronics equipment used in planes, satellites and spacecraft. This expertise comes from detailed knowledge gained through many years of research, modelling and extensive testing.
