Before focusing on hydrogen, Airbus has explored hybrid electric flight alternatives. It partnered with Rolls-Royce and Siemens on the E-Fan X project, which would have involved the test-flying of an Avro RJ100. It should have flown from Cranfield in 2020 but the project has been abandoned.

Airbus has already developed electric-powered demonstrators, such as the CityAirbus urban mobility design. Flight research data gained from past electric projects can be transferred to ZEROe
