Technological Research On Propulsion by HYdrogen

The TROPHY project, which stands for Technological Research On Propulsion by HYdrogen, aimed at supporting the Clean Aviation HYDEA funded project (HYdrogen DEmonstrator for Aviation), which proposes a technology maturation plan to develop an H2C (Hydrogen Combustion) propulsion system compatible with an Entry Into Service of a zero CO2 low-emission aircraft in 2035. TROPHY supported design activities related to the development of an H2 engine fuel system as well as the investigation of integration aspects between engine and aircraft. Decision was made by the consortium to close TROPHY grant agreement as it turned out that key objectives as initially envisaged were no longer relevant.
