During the HEROPS project's three-year period, the partners, led by MTU, plan to build a ground demonstrator with 1.2 megawatts of power. Regional aircraft could be using the system by 2035.
The demonstrator aims to evaluate the operational advantages of integrating hybrid-electric distributed propulsion, with specific emphasis on CO2 emissions and noise level reduction.
The EWIS will comprise over 103 kilometres (64 miles) of wiring, requiring more than 45,000 electrical connections, guaranteeing optimal safety and system reliability for Overture and Symphony.
The project will focus on the needs for future hydrogen-fuelled aircraft, aiming to reduce the weight and volume of the powertrain system through a simplified balance of plant and cooling subsystems.
The HPS elevates system-specific power while reducing energy storage mass. It regulates variable voltage sources such as permanent magnet generators while functioning as a microgrid power manager.
The new facility will include product development and customer integration support and will play a crucial role in the company's ambitions in bringing clean aviation solutions to the North American market.
With 25,000 square feet of space and an initial test capability of eight megawatts (MW), The Grid will allow Collins to produce cutting-edge electric motors, controllers, generators and distribution systems.
The two companies will work to integrate high voltage electrical systems on an experimental aircraft, and target flight testing to begin in 2024.
Airbus UpNext will replace the onboard auxiliary power unit on an A330 aircraft with a hydrogen fuel cell system that will generate electricity.
The ZeroAvia compressor offers highly stable performance across a large range of power and operating environment requirements, and will support up to 900kW fuel cell systems.
The company is looking to add a significant number of technical and manufacturing employees as both government and commercial programs increase into 2024.
During the final leg to Mojave the Dash-8's hydrogen fuel cell powertrain was used throughout, accruing over 180nm, and a flight time of over one hour - the longest by a hydrogen fuel cell powertrain to date.
