The dream of flying: How will we take off in 100 years?
Description
An old Airbus A320 gets a second life – as a high-tech laboratory for the future. At the Hydrogen Aviation Lab in Hamburg, Lufthansa Technik is testing how hydrogen could become the fuel of tomorrow. Host Anja Heyde talks with Gerrit Rexhausen, the project lead, and Hans Bernd Aringhoff, Head of Corporate Innovation Lufthansa Technik, about how this retired jet was transformed into a unique research aircraft – complete with hydrogen tanks, a fuel cell, and a digital twin. They explain why the fuel must be kept liquid at -253°C, what challenges remain on the path to low-emission flight, and why setbacks are an essential part of progress. Victoria Schuster, from Product & Customer Experience at Lufthansa Airlines, also shares how travel experiences are set to change in the future. An inspiring finale to Season 2 – about vision, transformation, and the dream of flight 100 years from now.
