Consortium for the AdVent of aero-Engine Demonstration and aircraft Integration Strategy with Hydrogen

根据欧洲绿色协议到2050年实现航空业碳中和的目标，与直接（100%氢）燃烧系统相关的突破性技术将在卡文迪什项目中进行研究，原型设计并集成到现代捐赠航空发动机上进行地面测试（从2024年底开始）。这次液态氢航空发动机测试将是欧洲首个此类测试，也是进一步飞行演示的基石，最终导致产品开发，旨在满足欧洲和行业的雄心壮志，即在2035年投入使用商用，大规模运输，氢燃料飞机。卡文迪什的第二个目标将是与几家成熟的飞机制造商和一个补充型号认证组织一起进行系统和动力飞机集成，以确定认证途径并制定允许飞行的路线。这项活动将直接有利于清洁航空计划下一阶段对捐赠发动机的飞行试验。卡文迪什还将探索双燃料燃烧系统（能够在100%氢气和100% SAF下运行）和低温压缩罐系统形式的替代技术。这两种技术都将提供灵活性，并可以简化氢在航空领域的应用。卡文迪什汇集了欧洲航空、动力和推进、燃烧、燃料和控制系统以及飞机领域领先的专业知识。它建立在英国、德国、法国和荷兰的多个国家技术项目的基础上，实际上是将这些技术途径结合并加速到液氢燃烧航空发动机的早期演示和第一个最小可行产品（MVP）中。该项目还与其他清洁航空倡议的活动相关联，特别是SMR和认证活动，特别是项目提案HEAVEN和CONCERTO。

In line with the European Green Deal target of reaching carbon neutrality in the aviation industry by 2050, breakthrough technologies related to direct (100% hydrogen) combustion systems will be researched, prototyped and integrated onto a modern donor aeroengine for ground testing (starting in late 2024) in Project CAVENDISH. This aeroengine test on liquid hydrogen will be a first of a kind in Europe and the cornerstone to further in-flight demonstration, eventually leading to product development aimed at meeting Europe’s and the industry’s ambition for the entry in service (EIS) of commercial, mass-transport, hydrogen-fuelled aircraft in 2035. CAVENDISH’s second objective will be to work on system and powerplant aircraft integration with several established airframers and a supplemental type certificate organisation to define certification pathways and formulate a route to permit to fly. This activity will directly benefit the flight test of the donor engine scheduled for the next phase of the Clean Aviation programme. CAVENDISH will also explore alternative enabling technologies in the form of a dual fuel combustor system (capable of operating on 100% hydrogen and 100% SAF) and in the form of a cryo-compressed tank system. Both these technologies will offer flexibility and could ease the introduction of hydrogen in aviation. CAVENDISH brings together expertise-leading European organizations in aeronautics, power and propulsion, combustion, fuel and controls systems and aircraft. It builds on multiple national technology programmes heralding from the UK, Germany, France and the Netherlands, and is in effect the marriage and acceleration of these technology pathways into an early demonstration and a first minimum viable product (MVP) of a liquid hydrogen combusting aeroengine. The project is also connected to activities in other Clean Aviation calls, on SMR and Certification activities specifically, notably project proposals HEAVEN and CONCERTO.
