Gas cell pioneer Clever Power (IE) and the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) have signed a partnership which IE says “is bringing the promise of zero-emission hydrogen-powered flights within the UK a step nearer.”
“The collaboration will play a key position in making certain the protected operation of the primary technology of fuel-cell-powered passenger plane which can be predicted to take to the skies this decade,” mentioned the corporate in a press launch. “Loughborough (UK)-based Clever Power…. made historical past in 2008 by partnering with Boeing to realize the primary manned flight powered by a gasoline cell. As we speak, the corporate continues to push the boundaries of hydrogen aviation, with improvements together with a proprietary water injection cooling system that delivers unrivalled energy density.
“IE’s 300kW IE-FLIGHT
300 (F300) product, launched in July 2024, has been designed to fulfill the wants of the primary business zero-emission plane. It should energy the Half 23 plane (with as much as 19 seats) and electrical vertical take-off and touchdown (eVTOL) plane which can be set to rework city air mobility. First deliveries are deliberate for 2027.
“IE has been chosen by the CAA to contribute to the second spherical of its UK Hydrogen Problem, a pivotal initiative getting ready the aerospace business for the transition to hydrogen as a zero-carbon aviation gasoline. IE’s major position will probably be to advance the security and certification requirements for gasoline cell-based propulsion methods, making certain their compliance with aviation laws and expediting their integration into business use.
The UK Hydrogen Problem was launched in 2024, and trials on this second part will run for 3 years.
