The three concepts - all codenamed "ZEROe", and all fuelled by hydrogen -include a turbofan design, a turboprop concept and a blended-wing body. According to Airbus, the turbofan concept (a 120 - 200 passenger airliner) will have a range of 2,000+ nautical miles and will be powered by a modified gas-turbine engine running on hydrogen, rather than jet fuel, through combustion. The liquid hydrogen will be stored and distributed via tanks located behind the rear pressure bulkhead.
