abstract = {The designed aircraft is a regional turboprop hydrogen combustion aircraft, which aims to operate
on routes where the ATR 72 - 600 operates, such as the routes between the Canary Islands, using
green hydrogen. An aircraft of this size has been chosen since it is easier to implement
revolutionary technologies on them than on a larger aircraft. Carbon emissions and the impact of
aviation on global warming are negative aspects of commercial aviation. Current aircraft have
reduced their emissions considerably over the past few decades, however, traffic growth has been
greater and will continue to grow in the coming years. The strategy of the aerospace industry in
the following decades aims to reduce CO2 emissions. This is where the project is framed, an
aircraft that contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions from commercial aviation. The
aircraft’s passenger cabin has a single class configuration. The wings, the vertical and horizontal
stabilizers and the landing gear have been designed based on similar aircraft. The result of this
study is an aircraft that matches the range of the ATR-72 at maximum take-off weight. To achieve
this, the energy consumption of the designed aircraft is higher. This is due to the heavy and bulky
cryogenic hydrogen tanks, which require a larger fuselage and more powerful engines, resulting
in an increase in the aircraft’s empty operating weight and an increase in the aircraft’s maximum
take-off weight with respect to the reference aircraft.},
