The last time that Airbus made a plane that needed modification to existing airfields (the A380), few airports or airlines did it and bought the plane. And that was a lot simpler than changing the fundamental fueling infrastructure.
It has taken, what, two decades and counting to even get unleaded avgas approved, let alone banning the leaded version? Why would a more complex change be a feasible one-company effort?
- jnsaff2 4y agoIt does not have to be a one-company effort at all. But someone has to propose a solution. I still stand by my view that the supply chain of hydrogen is solvable with current tech. Whereas hydrogen (or other green long range) planes are not. It does not make much sense for supply chain companies to go first if they know that it takes airbus or Boeing or whoever 20 years with 50% odds of success.
