Airbus's delay in developing a hydrogen-powered aircraft raises concerns about the aviation industry's commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050. The discussion explores whether this delay indicates a broader reluctance to invest in transformative technologies or is a realistic response to the challenges involved. Concerns are raised about delays in other near-term projects as well.
