What happened

Airbus civil-aircraft chief Lars Wagner said the Zero E hydrogen-aircraft vision is an economically viable aircraft for about 80 passengers and roughly 1,000 nautical miles of range.

Why it matters: The concept would take Airbus below its current sub-100-seat commercial-aircraft threshold and represents a potential new hydrogen-aircraft segment.
