A German consortium has secured €9.3m ($10m) of government funding to develop hydrogen fuel cell systems to power regional aircraft.
Led by Stuttgart-based H2FLY, the BALIS 2.0 Project plans to develop and test a 350kW fuel cell system that will serve as the base module to develop megawatt-class hydrogen-electric powertrain systems, which could power 40-80 seater aircraft.
The project will be supported by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Diehl Aerospace, which will study coupling behaviours and develop platform technology for scaling.
