Experimental & Future Aircraft

Experimental & Future Aircraft tracks the concepts reshaping aviation: open-rotor and propfan designs, hybrid-electric systems, hydrogen pathways, advanced materials, and eSAF integration. Our explainers assess architectures, technology readiness, certification hurdles, and projected performance—plus operations impact on fuel burn and costs. Compare programs with TRL tables, pro/con summaries, and timelines so you can separate real progress from hype on the road to 2030 fleets.
