LIHFE-10 (LIquid Hydrogen Fuel-SystEm Development 10)

开发氢电动力系统的市场领先者ZeroAvia和民用航空液氢燃料系统开发、测试和认证的市场领先者Filton系统工程公司将在LIHFE-10项目上合作。该项目将结合两个组织的能力，在地面测试设施中开发和演示300kW液氢驱动的氢电动力总成。该项目将证明在低温下处理、储存和调节氢气方面存在一些技术挑战；并将提供一个容量增加10公斤的复合材料储罐。在成功完成这个陆基示范项目后，系统架构将为后续项目开发成可飞行测试系统做好准备。该团队的目标是展示从气态氢过渡到液态氢时，能量存储的显著改进所提供的扩展范围和效率。该系统随后将根据不同的飞机型号和客户的操作要求进行调整。

ZeroAvia, the market leader pioneering the development of hydrogen-electric powertrains, and Filton Systems Engineering, market leader pioneering the development, testing and certification of liquid hydrogen fuel-systems for civil aviation, will work together on Project LIHFE-10\.The project will combine the capabilities of both Organizations to develop and demonstrate a 300kW hydrogen-electric powertrain running on liquid hydrogen in ground test facilities. The project will prove out a number of technical challenges around handling, storing and conditioning hydrogen at cryogenic temperatures; and will deliver a composite tank with an increased capacity of 10kg.Upon successful completion of this ground based demonstrator project the system architecture will be designed ready for a follow-on project to develop into a flight-testable system. The team's aim is to demonstrate the extended range and efficiency offered by the significant improvement in energy storage when transitioning from gaseous hydrogen to liquid hydrogen. The system will subsequently be scaled for different aircraft types and customer's operational requirements.
