Easyjet and Rolls Royce test hydrogen jet engine

Partnership looking to demonstrate that hydrogen has potential to power a range of aircraft from the 2030s

Engine manufacturer Rolls Royce and airline Easyjet have successfully tested an aircraft engine running on hydrogen. The test took place at an outdoor test facility at the UK Ministry of Defence’s Boscombe Down facility using a converted Rolls Royce AE 2100-A gas turbine engine that would normally run on kerosene-based jet fuel. Following analysis of the early concept ground test, the two companies plan a series of further rig tests leading up to a full-scale ground test of a Rolls Royce Pearl 15 jet engine. “We are committed to continuing to support this ground-breaking research because hydrogen offers great possibilities for a range of aircraft, including Easyjet-sized aircraft,” says Easy
