Watch the first TRIATHLON project video, showcasing the projects mission to revolutionize aviation with hydrogen-powered hybrid-electric powertrains.

Aviation plays a crucial role in global connectivity between people, products and information, but it also contributes significantly to carbon emissions. With the industry aiming to cut emissions by 50% by 2050, TRIATHLON is developing innovative hydrogen-based solutions to make this vision a reality.

Watch the video to discover:

  • How the TRIATHLON project is tackling the challenges of hydrogen integration in aviation
  • The projects game-changing technologies for low-emission, highly efficient powertrains
  • The four key objectives driving our research and innovation

About TRIATHLON:

In response to the global call for reduced carbon emissions in the aviation industry, TRIATHLON will lead the charge by developing robust, low-maintenance, and low-emission hydrogen-electric powertrains for megawatt-class aircraft.

Project Highlights:

  • Overcoming scaling challenges in hydrogen powertrain tech;
  • Disruptive approaches for more responsive powertrains;
  • Implementation of NOx reduction strategies;
  • Innovative heat exchangers using materials like ceramics;
  • Elimination of cryogenic pumps for a more robust fuel distribution system.

The project is the result of the cooperation between a consortium made of universities, SMEs and industries coming from 6 different countries. M2i will be the project coordinator, TU Delft the technical lead and AMIRES the dissemination lead. The full consortium consist of Technische Universität Dresden, Ergon Research, Sabancı Üniversitesi, Cryomotive GmbH  and Lithoz.

The project is funded by the European Union and CINEA – European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency
