Airbus is developing a hydrogen-powered fuel cell engine as a potential solution for its zero-emission aircraft. 

A modified version of the company's A380 MSN001 aircraft will carry the fuel-cell engine pod, and inside the craft's real fuselage will be a cryogenic tank to hold the liquefied hydrogen. 

Airbus has multiple zero-emission concept aircrafts, but the one that's being used for this effort is a high-wing 100-seat regional airliner containing six eight-bladed propellers attached to engine pods. 

The pods contain hydrogen fuel cells which produce electricity as the result of an electro-chemical reaction to power electric motors.

'Fuel cells are a potential solution to help us achieve our zero-emission ambition and we are focused on developing and testing this technology to
