description Research on engine operation using hydrogen may enable appropriate optimization of thrust, and therefore performance, related to its potential use in aircraft. It is particularly important as the share of hydrogen in combustion affects the reduction of combustion products such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbons, and solid matter. This is in line with the new requirements regarding the increased supply of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and the related changes in emissions, i.e., reducing the harmful impact of exhaust gases on the environment. This paper presents the results of measurements carried out in the GTM400 MOD turbojet engine. Based on the research performed, the impact of hydrogen and aviation kerosene combustion on selected engine parameters is presented. The paper shows changes in the rotational speed and volume flow of JET A-1 fuel as a function of engine operation time. Changes in temperature measured at the edge of the flame tube were also examined. The tests confirmed that the combustion chamber worked correctly in the selected area in the range of the tested fuel mixtures. After incorporating hydrogen into the combustion process, the consumption of traditional JET A-1 fuel was significantly reduced.
