Australian aerospace company Amsl Aero will integrate engine cooling technology used in Formula 1 racing to enable longer-range hydrogen-powered drone operations.
Conflux Technology’s heat transfer technology will cool hydrogen fuel cells used to power electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, Vertiia, which can reportedly cruise at speeds of 300km/h.
“In Vertiia, we are building a hydrogen-electric aircraft that flies record-breaking distances at Formula 1 speeds,” Chris Smallhorn, Asml Aero Chairman said.
The project has completed its first phase, developing three lightweight, compact heat exchanger concepts, and will now move to phase two – optimising and building a full proof-of-concept for integration into Vertiia’s hydrogen fuel cell system.
Conflux’s cooling solution has been optimised for the intense heat loads of Vertiia’s vertical flight phases, using thin-walled designed to meet weight, performance and space constraints in hydrogen aviation.
