At the same time, Airbus is already preparing the successor for the A320neo, planning a new aircraft to replace its best-selling product in the next decade. The manufacturer expected that the replacement jet would enter service at the second half of the next decade, meaning mid-to-late 2030s. Guillaume Faury, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Airbus, made his comments during the manufacturer’s annual press conference, answering a question from Simple Flying’s Tom Boon. According to Faury, Airbus is focusing on two technologies to power the ZEROe platform: liquid hydrogen, which would be similar to the current jet fuel propulsion system and using hydrogen as a fuel cell, turning hydrogen into electricity onboard the aircraft, resulting in electric propulsion.
