TCS, Rolls-Royce Test 100% Hydrogen Aviation Engine
Tata Consultancy Services, a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, and Rolls-Royce, a British multinational specializing in civil aerospace, defence aerospace, services and power systems, have achieved a major milestone in the hydrogen propulsion programme. First announced by Rolls-Royce and easyJet in 2022, TCS joined the programme in 2024, bringing its engineering and technology capabilities in the areas of development, testing and validation. Together, TCS and Rolls-Royce have, in an industry first, demonstrated the successful operation of a modern aero gas turbine across a fully simulated flight cycle using 100% hydrogen.
The test is the culmination of a four-year programme to prove hydrogen’s potential as a future aviation fuel. Operated using 100% hydrogen, the modified engine successfully completed a flight cycle demonstration, including take-off, cruise and landing. The tests, validated critical hydrogen propulsion technologies across combustion, fuel systems, and engine controls. As Rolls-Royce’s engineering partner, TCS...
