The aviation industry remains one of the largest contributors to carbon emissions, responsible for about 2.5% of global CO2 output. Despite significant investment and research into alternative fuels and aircraft designs, progress has been sluggish, as evidenced by these persistently high emission levels. NASA, however, is attempting to change the tide with its development of a hybrid hydrogen-based engine. The Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) at NASA has recently awarded a grant to Phillip Ansell of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for the development of the Hydrogen Hybrid Power for Aviation Sustainable Systems (Hy2PASS) engine. This technology harnesses a unique…
