Conceptual Design of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Aircraft: Flying on hydrogen for a more sustainable future

The demand for air travel is increasing as more people gain access to commercial aviation. As the current generation of aircraft makes use of fossil fuel combustion, this growth results in an increase in the global emissions. This is at odds with the worldwide efforts of reducing the adverse effects of climate change. Therefore, advanced...

Conceptual Design of Fuel Cell Commuter Aircraft: A study into the performance and viability of CS-23 category transport aircraft utilising hydrogen fuel cell propulsion

This research project investigated the potential benefits of using hybrid hydrogen fuel-cell powertrains in commuter aircraft certified under the EASA CS-23 category to reduce the aviation industry's environmental impact. The study used an in-house aircraft design synthesis software to model conventional and fuel cell aircraft, including a...
