Questions have lingered for years about industry’s commitment and timelines for providing a next-generation single-aisle (NGSA) aircraft.

The UK government has awarded funding to support two projects to advance hydrogen-electric propulsion for next-generation regional aircraft and air taxis.

The order, announced Tuesday at the Paris Air Show, came just three weeks after Vietjet doubled its firm orders of Airbus widebodies.

The partnership will focus on work toward future engine iterations, including potential powerplants for ATR’s planned EVO hybrid-electric aircraft family.

Pratt & Whitney says the BWB in development by JetZero is an “interesting opportunity” for the potential launch of an updated version of the PW2000, an engine which first entered commercial service on the Boeing 757 in January 1983.

The carrier signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with hydrogen propulsion specialist Conscious Aerospace at the Paris Air Show.

Clean Aviation and SESAR have led a call to the European Union to support €66 billion of required sustainability investment between 2028 and 2034.
