Abstract:
The use of hydrogen as an aviation fuel has been rising as one of the most promising alternatives to face the environmental challenges produced by the aeronautical sector, particularly in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. Without using conventional hydrocarbons, hydrogen combustion does not produce carbon dioxide, making it an option for cleaner and more responsible air transportation. The transition to large-scale hydrogen adoption requires not only technological advancements and appropriate infrastructure, but also a significant shift in the academic training of future professionals in the aeronautical and energy fields.
This investigation presents an approach that links the development of hydrogen as an aviation fuel with education in engineering, science, and technology. It promotes a disciplined vision that prepares students to design, implement, and optimize sustainable solutions in the aviation industry. By updating academic programs and incorporating topics such as clean energy, and environmental management, the objective is to create a culture of ecological responsibility from the early stages of professional training. Collaboration between universities, research centers, and industry is also emphasized as essential to accelerate learning and innovation in this field.
In conclusion, hydrogen is not only a sustainable energy solution for aviation but also a powerful opportunity to rethink technical and scientific education in light of 21st-century environmental challenges. Promoting its study and application from an educational perspective will significantly contribute to the development of a greener, more efficient, and environmentally committed aviation industry.
