Organisers of a competition to operate the first carbon-free transatlantic flight have announced its first contenders, sponsors and the technical judging panel.
Sustainability organisation Carbon Footprint’s Freedom Flight Prize is designed to help decarbonise the industry. It is challenging entrants to complete a return trip from London to New York in a 100-plus seater passenger aircraft in 24 hours while releasing zero carbon emissions, with a multimillion-pound prize fund going to the winner.
The first contenders registered include UK-US outfit ZeroAvia and Okulu Aerospace and The ePlane Company, both based in India. The proposed solutions are based on hydrogen and electric-based propulsion systems.
