ZeroAvia to support KAERI in development and testing of composite liquid hydrogen storage systems
In the UK, ZeroAvia stated that has signed a deal which will see it support the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) in the development and testing of liquid hydrogen storage systems for aircraft.
As part of the agreement, ZeroAvia will advise KAERI on the design for these systems, while embarking on a multi-year testing project utilizing ZeroAvia’s state-of-the-art LH2 test facility at Cotswold Airport in the UK.
ZeroAvia’s Liquid Hydrogen Test Center (LHTC) was built to support ZeroAvia’s aircraft and component liquid hydrogen testing and meets all necessary ATEX and DSEAR safety requirements, the firm said. The specially modified shelter enables a testing setup that is protected from the elements but enables safe leak risk mitigation, it added.
ZeroAvia and KAERI will work together on performance and safety testing through several stages of design, ultimately culminating in a full ground test campaign of the system.
