FiLAment Winding multi-nozzLE, traversing winding head for enabling production of composite high-preSSure vessels (FLAWLESS)

无瑕疵项目旨在开发一种新的制造技术，该技术基于**多喷嘴、横穿缠绕头用于纤维缠绕**，能够在显著降低重量和生产速度的情况下生产复合高压容器。这项技术旨在满足迅速增长的储氢罐需求，为英国实现到2030年获得5GW低碳氢能生产能力的雄心提供了一项使能技术。轻质储氢容器对航空尤其重要-FlyZero(由航天技术研究所和商业、能源和工业战略部门建立)得出结论，如果航空不脱碳，在环境和经济上都将变得不可持续，而对于**商业航空旅行**，**液氢**是唯一能够实现这一点的飞机燃料。FlyZero进一步得出结论，氢动力飞机开发的机会窗口很短，如果飞机制造商决定开发传统动力飞机，那么到2025年可能会关闭。这使得这项技术的发展非常及时。**主要关注领域**将是IV型和V型复合材料压力容器。为该技术确定的具体市场是：用于灭火和潜水的呼吸罐(低风险/低影响)、氢动力汽车(中风险/中影响)和氢动力飞机(高风险/高影响)。无瑕疵特别强调用于航空航天的液氢罐，有可能首次实现这些技术的商业应用。FLAWLESS由石墨烯创新曼彻斯特有限公司(GIM)牵头并将由GIM提供，这是一家雄心勃勃的英国微型企业，为包括石墨烯材料在内的复合技术开发创新的加工技术和材料。

The FLAWLESS project aims to will develop a new manufacturing technique based on **multi-nozzle, traversing winding head for filament winding** enabling production of composite high-pressure vessels with significantly reduced weight and production speeds. This technology is aimed at meeting the rapidly increasing demand for hydrogen storage tanks, acting as an enabling technology for the UK to meet its ambition is to gain a 5GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030\. Lightweight hydrogen storage vessels are of particular importance for, aviation - FlyZero (established by the Aerospace Technology Institute and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy) has concluded that aviation will become environmentally and economically unsustainable if it does not decarbonise and thar **liquid hydrogen** is the only aircraft fuel able to achieve this for **commercial air travel**. FlyZero has further concluded that "window of opportunity" for launching development of hydrogen powered aircraft is short and could be closed by 2025 if the airframers decide to develop conventionally powered aircraft instead., making the development of this technology very timely.The **main areas of focus** will be Type IV and Type V, composite pressure vessels. The specific markets identified for the technology are: Breathing tanks for firefighting and SCUBA diving (low-risk/low-impact), hydrogen powered automotive vehicles (medium-risk/medium-impact) and hydrogen powered aircraft (high-risk/high-impact).The particular emphasis in FLAWLESS is on liquid hydrogen tanks for aerospace, potentially enabling commercially of these for the first time.FLAWLESS is led and will be delivered by Graphene Innovations Manchester Ltd (GIM), an ambitious UK micro business that develops innovative processing technologies and materials for composite technologies that include graphene materials.
