    [FRANKFURT] Airbus may make its own engines for its hydrogen fuelled planes, chief executive officer Guillaume Faury told a German newspaper in an interview published on Saturday (Feb 5).

    The planemaker has said it plans to develop the world's first zero-emission hydrogen fuelled commercial aircraft by 2035.

    Faury told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper that he could imagine equipping those aircraft with electric motors produced in-house.

    "That's something we could basically do ourselves," Faury was quoted as saying, speaking of a possible "change of strategy". REUTERS
