Airbus’s initial hydrogen airliner likely to have 80 seats: Wagner

Airbus commercial aircraft chief Lars Wagner anticipates the company's inaugural propeller-driven hydrogen fuel-cell airframe will accommodate approximately eighty passengers. Wagner expressed a preference for maintaining confidentiality regarding specific design elements, including engine count and configuration details. This decision is driven by competitive considerations within the aerospace industry. The project represents a significant step toward realizing zero-emission designs utilizing propellor technology. Airbus continues to develop this innovative approach with an initial focus on smaller capacity aircraft.
