Airbus’s ZEROe
Production Company: Airbus
Feature: Zero Emissions Commercial Aircraft
EST. Cost of Production: Unknown
The ZEROe is currently only a concept plane for Airbus. The ZEROe is committed to zero emissions, as you could have guessed from the name. The ZEROe is one of three design concepts vying to be the first zero-emission commercial airplane. Airbus hopes to have this airliner in operation by the 2030s. The ZEROe and its contemporaries are powered by hydrogen. Airbus feels that hydrogen is a very promising clean, eco-friendly fuel, and that it will most likely be a means for many aerospace and aviation companies to achieve their climate-neutral goals.

Concorde Redux
Production Company: United, Boom
Feature: More Eco-Friendly And Economically Viable Concorde
EST. Cost of Production: Unknown
The Concorde was the world’s first supersonic passenger plane. Decades have passed since the Concorde’s final voyage, which flew notable passengers, all of whom were ultra-wealthy, at Mach 2 speed at an altitude of more than 55,000 feet, including the Queen of England. In 1996, the Concorde set a world record by flying from New York to London in less than three hours. The Concorde Redux is a method of transforming the Concorde into a more economically feasible and ecologically friendly version of the original Concorde. Boom and United have joined forces to convert the Concorde, dubbed an ecological disaster, into a zero-emissions airliner (or as close to zero as possible).
