About the role

Today's aircraft contribute around 4% of global CO2 emissions, equivalent to the emissions of 200 million cars.
This is only going to increase: Air travel is forecasted to double by 2050, while meaningful efficiency gains using current airplanes have hit a wall.
It uses up to 50% less fuel and will be built to accommodate zero-emission hydrogen propulsion.
