Within the global effort to enable zero-carbon-emission flying, numerous approaches are being followed by aircraft manufacturers and the supply chain to provide according structures and systems. The dominant technology bricks such as tanks and piping have to function under harsh conditions, operating at 20 K over the complete lifespan of an aircraft. This presentation intends to give an overview of how Airbus is tackling this challenge, which basic tests are already carried out for metal and composite testing, and which “white spots” in the testing pyramid are still to be filled with accepted and verified test methods.
