On December 17, Joel Jezegou, representing ISAE-Supaero and the CONCERTO project, presented at the "EASA Certification Roadmap on Hydrogen (H2) — International Workshop", held at EASA headquarters in Cologne, Germany.
This workshop brought together key stakeholders from across the aviation community including representatives from EASA, FAA, UK CAA, and various national civil aviation authorities.
Focus of the Presentation
Joel's presentation showcased the outcomes of CONCERTO’s PoC H2 and highlighted ongoing initiatives aimed at facilitating the certification of hydrogen-powered aircraft. His talk provided critical insights into the methodologies, analyses, and recommendations developed by CONCERTO to support both regulators and the broader hydrogen aviation community.
Key Topics
CRL Scale Development: Emphasizing the importance of collaboration with regulators throughout the certification readiness process.
Methodologies for Hydrogen Aircraft Certification:
Definition of hydrogen aircraft generic concepts (CRL).
Gap analysis conducted (CRL3).
Regulatory risk analysis (CRL).
Gap Analysis Synthesis covering CS-25, CS-E, and CS-23.
Critical Areas for Certification: Insights to help guide rulemaking efforts and prioritize areas of focus.
Recommendations to EASA to ensure certification processes evolve to meet the needs of hydrogen-powered aviation.
The workshop was a pivotal moment in uniting regulators, industry experts, and stakeholders to align strategies for the future of hydrogen-powered flight.
CONCERTO remains committed to supporting the development of a robust and clear regulatory framework for hydrogen aviation. By addressing critical gaps and fostering collaboration, the project aims to accelerate the safe adoption of hydrogen technologies in the aviation sector.
