Scoccimarro, Antonio (author)Hydrogen fuel cells are set to play an important role in decarbonizing the aviation sector. They operate at higher efficiencies than turbine engines, but their low operating temperature requires a dedicated thermal management system. The added drag, weight and parasitic power of such a system has a high impact on aircraft performance and its...master thesis 2023
