Universal Hydrogen and Deutsche Aircraft announced (21-Jul-2021) a technical collaboration on a design study to incorporate Universal Hydrogen's modular capsule technology into the Dornier 328 programme. The joint effort will analyse:
- Required size and integration of modular capsule technology for hydrogen storage into the aircraft structure and systems (including loading and unloading considerations;
- Aircraft weight and balance;
- Hydrogen costs across both infrastructure and fuel;
- Mission performance;
- Hydrogen logistics network design.
In addition, both Universal Hydrogen and Deutsche Aircraft will work closely with regional and federal German government and EU entities regarding the development, production, and implementation of the study and project. [more - original PR]
