Airbus More Confident Daily in Hydrogen Plane Delivery: CEO

The transcript discusses the development of hydrogen aeroplanes by 2035, highlighting the complexities of physics and chemistry involved. It emphasizes the need for collaboration, proper regulations, and the availability of hydrogen fuel. The discussion also covers aircraft design considerations, focusing on the differences between hydrogen and kerosene. The impact of the North Atlantic reopening on Airbus orders is explored, along with the challenges faced in the supply chain due to material shortages and the energy crisis in Europe. Despite these challenges, Airbus aims to meet its delivery targets.
