Two meetings have already taken place in 2022 in the field of hydrogen and the development of various proposals for electric/hybrid aircraft for the Mobility Emergency Fund and the Growth Fund. It has become apparent that the developments of hydrogen-driven propulsion systems, of fully electric propulsion systems and of electric/hybrid systems actually have a lot in common in terms of challenges and involved parties and interested parties. The certification issue affects all 3, hydrogen propulsion also requires many changes in the electrical system, and many players are involved in all 3 developments.

It has therefore been decided to set up a broader working group that includes battery development and electrification in addition to hydrogen systems. This means that players from all three worlds are involved in the working group and that we have set up an annual plan in which we combine common subjects with more specific themes.

The working group for this cluster is consisting of:

• February 10th: MKB Challenge Hydrogen 1
• March 17th: MKB Challenge Hydrogen 2
• April 7th: Meeting about Electrification/battery development
