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

FLAWLESS项目旨在开发一种新的制造技术，该技术基于 ** 用于纤维缠绕的多喷嘴横向缠绕头 **，能够生产重量和生产速度显著降低的复合材料高压容器。该技术旨在满足对储氢罐快速增长的需求，作为英国实现其雄心壮志的一项技术，即到2030年获得5GW的低碳氢生产能力。轻型储氢容器对航空来说特别重要- FlyZero（由航空航天技术研究所和商业，能源和工业战略部建立）得出结论，如果航空不脱碳，航空将变得环境和经济上不可持续，而液氢是唯一能够实现这一目标的飞机燃料。FlyZero进一步得出结论，启动氢动力飞机开发的“机会之窗”很短，如果飞机制造商决定开发传统动力飞机，可能会在2025年关闭。这使得这项技术的发展非常及时。** 重点领域 ** 将是IV型和V型复合压力容器。为该技术确定的具体市场是：消防和水肺潜水用呼吸罐（低风险/低影响）氢动力汽车（中等风险/中等影响）和氢动力飞机（高风险/高影响）。FLAWLESS特别强调航空航天用液氢罐，FLAWLESS将由石墨烯创新曼彻斯特有限公司（GIM）领导并交付，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材料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.
