Aviation H2 has taken apart a Swiwin SW170b-2448 turbine and will now begin designing the modifications required for the engine to run on liquid ammonia, the Company’s hydrogen carrier of choice.
Once the engine is operational, it will be one of the first carbon-free turbines in the world, serving as a proof of concept for the modification model the Company developed in the feasibility study conducted earlier this year.
Following this, the Company will purchase a Dassault Falcon 50, which it will convert to its liquid ammonia turbine for a test flight.
Aviation H2 will provide regular updates and videos of the conversion process, so stay tuned for more details on this exciting project.
