DLR Airbus A320 ATRA taxis using fuel cell-powered nose wheel for the first time

<img align="right" alt="" src="http://www.dlr.de/en/resourceimage.aspx?raid=231522">On July 1st 2011, DLR's A320 ATRA (Advanced Technology Research Aircraft) taxied around Hamburg Finkenwerder Airport propelled by an electric nose wheel. In the taxiing tests, researchers and engineers from the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Airbus and Lufthansa Technik demonstrated a fuel cell-powered electric nose wheel. When installed in airliners, such nose wheels could significantly reduce noise and emissions at airports.
