Fokker Next Gen is designing a clean sheet aircraft to contribute towards the net zero carbon emission vision of the future of flight.

The design is a single aisle narrow body commercial aircraft seating 120 to 150 passengers and has a flight range of 2,590 kms (1,400 nm). It will seamlessly fit into current airline operations against comparable cost (CASK).

The aircraft will have an innovative dual fuel design, enabling the aircraft to fly on liquid H₂ combustion (LH₂), sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), or – if no other fuel type is available – jet fuel.

When pure H₂ is combusted, the only byproducts are oxygen and water, meaning a flight purely powered by LH₂ would produce zero CO₂ emissions while in flight. If the liquid H₂ has been produced through one of the various zero-emission production methods (e.g., green H₂) this will provide a truly zero-CO₂ emitting fuel.

Entry into service is currently scheduled for 2035, although Fokker Next Gen is exploring all possibilities to accelerate this timeline.
