HAMBURG PREPARES FOR HYDROGEN

The aerospace industry in Hamburg is preparing for flying with hydrogen, with the set-up for the new development platform underway.

Over the next two years and with funds provided by the city of Hamburg, Lufthansa Technik together with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the Center for Applied Aeronautical Research (ZAL), and Hamburg Airport will design and test extensive maintenance and ground processes in handling hydrogen technology.

The companies are now pooling their extensive practical, technical, and scientific expertise to investigate the effects of the use of liquid hydrogen on maintenance and ground processes at an early stage.
