Rolls-Royce and EasyJet have teamed up to complete the world’s first test of a hydrogen-powered modern engine.
The engineering giant and low cost operator carried out the test at the MoD’s Boscombe Down facility in Wiltshire, using a converted Rolls-Royce AE 2100-A turboprop aircraft engine.
The hydrogen used was created using 100 per cent wind and tidal power at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) on Eday in the Orkney Islands.
