The Vienna Aviation Days 2025 took place on 7–8 July 2025, hosted by the exFan project under the Horizon Europe framework. This focused two-day event brought together stakeholders from research, industry, and policymaking to discuss the development of future propulsion systems — from current technologies to disruptive solutions aiming for climate-neutral aviation by 2050.

At the 55^th Paris Air Show (16–22 June 2025), the University of Vienna represents the exFan project, bringing forward key insights into hydrogen-electric propulsion and thermal management.

By participating in one of the most significant gatherings in global aerospace, exFan continues building bridges between science, policy, and industry—ensuring visibility and collaboration across sectors.
 

The exFan consortium met (M18) at the premises of IRES on May 14-15, 2025, to assess progress, coordinate technical work, and plan the next steps. A valuable opportunity to reinforce collaboration across all partners and align the common efforts to project main goals as we move into the completion of 2nd year of the project.  

Represented by Hanns Amri (ADT), exFan shared key findings on thrust generation using PEM fuel cell waste heat and thermal management via atwo-phase system – all within the ClimAVTech Cluster session (AeroDays 2025 – Warsaw, Poland).  

The exFan project has been highlighted by Aviation Week Network, showcasing its innovative approach and contributions to the aviation sector. Access the full article by clicking here.

We are pleased to announce that the exFan project will be represented by Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien) at this year’s premier aerospace research and development event. This gathering brings together top experts, groundbreaking research, and the latest innovations shaping the future of aerospace technology.

The exFan project was featured at the 14^th EASN International Conference in Thessaloniki, Greece.
