Hydrogen energy research facilities for aviation
NLR
The Netherlands Aerospace Centre (Royal NLR) is strongly involved in technology development to increase the maturity of aircraft systems that are needed for hydrogen propulsion. The main technology focus areas for its research include hydrogen fuel cell systems for application in aviation, thermal management systems, hydrogen-electric systems and components, composite liquid hydrogen tanks for large aircraft, systems and material testing at deep cryogenic temperatures, and hydrogen technology flight testing and demonstration.
New technologies developed in several projects that NLR is involved with will contribute to the technical and economic feasibility, safety and public acceptance of hydrogen systems on board aircraft and at airports. Many of the projects NLR is involved with are directly or indirectly linked to hydrogen. Some examples are the European clean aviation research projects such as HyPoTraDe (Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Train Demonstrator) and HEROPS (Hydrogen-Electric Zero Emission Propulsion System). To support the research and testing of the new hydrogen expertise and technologies, NLR is setting up a research infrastructure at NLR Marknesse in the Netherlands.
