Watch: Carbon-Free modification process explained

Aviation H2’s Director & Principal Engineer, Dr Helmut Mayer, explains the process behind modifying the Swiwin SW170b-2448 turbine so it operates on liquid ammonia, the Company’s hydrogen carrier of choice.
This week, the Company will design the mechanical modifications and send them to a machinist to be built while also rewriting the code in the engine’s control system so it can process the carbon-free fuel and the changes to the turbine.
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 conversion 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.
