Fokker Next Gen at Farnborough 2024
Our Mission
Fokker Next Gen is committed to revolutionizing aviation with our innovative clean sheet aircraft design.
Our aircraft is primarily designed to fly on liquid hydrogen (LH2), but will also be able to fly on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) or - if no sustainable alternatives are available - JetA1 fuel. This allows our aircraft to seamlessly travel between airports with varying infrastructure capabilities, making us a key transitional solution towards zero-emission flight.
We are dedicated to reducing carbon emissions and leading the industry towards a net-zero future with eco-friendly, reliable, and efficient aircraft that prioritizes safety and environmental stewardship.
Our clean sheet aircraft will contribute to a net zero CO2 emission future for aviation
The design is a single aisle narrow body commercial aircraft seating 120 to 150 passengers.
It has a flight range of 2,590 kms (1,400 nm) and it will seamlessly fit into current airline operations against comparable cost (CASK).
Multi-Fuel Capable
-
Having multi-fuel capability in an aircraft is crucial for the green transition because it allows the aircraft to operate efficiently between airports with differing fuel infrastructures. This flexibility ensures continuous, reliable service while the industry transitions to greener fuels like hydrogen. By being adaptable, our aircraft will support the gradual implementation of sustainable energy sources, reducing emissions without disrupting current travel networks.

Flying on liquid hydrogen (LH2) offers significant environmental benefits by producing zero carbon emissions. With innovations in production, government subsidies for green fuel, and carbon taxes on fossil fuels, LH2 is projected to become cheaper than jet fuel. This makes LH2 not only a sustainable choice but also an economically viable one for the future. Embracing LH2 technology ensures a greener, cost-effective future for aviation, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.
-
SAF can be produced from various renewable resources, making it a versatile and sustainable option. Its compatibility with existing aircraft and infrastructure allows for immediate implementation without the need for extensive modifications. This helps the aviation industry transition to greener operations more swiftly, supporting global efforts to mitigate climate change while maintaining the efficiency and reliability of air travel.
-
While JetA1 is not what the Fokker Next Gen is being designed to primarily fly on, some airports will not have the ability to provide LH2 or SAF in their existing infrastructure by 2035. Having this as a fueling option means that the aircraft can be used in any airport around the world.
Passengers: 120 - 150

Entry into Service: 2035
FAQs
-
The Fokker Next Gen aircraft is primarily designed to be operated on liquid hydrogen combustion (LH2).
When pure hydrogen is combusted, the byproducts are oxygen and water, meaning a flight purely powered by LH2 would produce zero CO2 emissions while in flight.
If the liquid hydrogen has been produced through one of the various zero-emission production methods (e.g. green hydrogen) this will provide a truly zero-CO2 emitting fuel.

Having multi-fuel capability in an aircraft is crucial for the green transition because it allows the aircraft to operate efficiently between airports with differing fuel infrastructures. This flexibility ensures continuous, reliable service while the industry transitions to greener fuels like hydrogen.
By being adaptable, the Fokker Next Gen aircraft will support the gradual implementation of sustainable energy sources, reducing emissions without disrupting current travel networks.
Similar to hybrid cars like the Prius, which enabled drivers to use existing fuel infrastructure while benefiting from electric power, multi-fuel aircraft bridge the gap, allowing infrastructure to catch up with green technology advancements.
This transitional approach accelerates the adoption of sustainable aviation, ensuring a smoother shift towards a greener future.
