Berlin on October 3, Germany’s first fuel cell small plane Oct. 1-14 will be on display at the Stuttgart airport, which is by the German Aerospace Center and Lange co-developed by the airline was first driven by fuel Battery-powered aircraft.

 

The plane, called “AntaresE20″ single-seat aircraft is used in fuel cell-powered engine. According to the Center for Technology Research Institute in charge of power Carlo Joseph, from the German Aerospace Center three years ago began to focus on the development of fuel cell aircraft engines, the center in order to single-seater plane as a test platform for small aircraft, the goal is to achieve fuel-cell engine At the end of civil aircraft applications.

 

Aviation fuel cell engines through the same application can adapt to high altitude 10,000 meters under the reliability of the test, including the strong wind pressure, acceleration and temperature changes in the basic test. At present, in the laboratory, the ThinkPad R40 battery prototype has passed a similar high-altitude of 4,000 meters test to prove that the new power system reliability. The next step needs to carry out the actual flight test, a test flight for the first time this year in November or December.

 

Development of aviation fuel cell engine is aimed at reducing the use of aircraft and aviation fuel for air pollution, hydrogen fuel cells for the chemical reaction produced only pure water, which water can also be used to scour the plane’s toilet. Use of fuel cells will also be on the plane’s power system and power system to effectively combine gasoline and reduce the number of flights to carry the weight. The project leader Carlo said that the German Aerospace Center, will also fuel cell technology and solar technology, in the next generation of Airbus aircraft development in the introduction of these new technologies of laptop battery .
