AIAA Launches Innovative Course on Hydrogen Aviation for Sustainable Future
Key Ideas
- AIAA and HYSKY Society collaborate to offer a new course on hydrogen aviation, aiming to decarbonize the aerospace industry and reduce CO2 emissions.
- Hydrogen-powered aviation could potentially reduce the global warming effect of flying by 50 to 90%, marking a significant shift in aerospace engineering.
- The course covers hydrogen fundamentals, design aspects, and future implications, targeting professionals interested in zero-carbon electric aircraft and unmanned systems.
- Participants can earn 20 classroom hours or 2.0 CEU/PDH, with pricing varying for AIAA members, students, and non-members, and group discounts available.
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) has unveiled a new continuing education course in collaboration with HYSKY Society focused on hydrogen aviation. The course, titled 'Advanced Hydrogen Aerospace Technologies and Design,' will run from 8 October to 7 November, offering insights into the use of hydrogen fuel cells or combustion in aviation to reduce CO2 emissions. According to Clean Aviation, hydrogen-powered aviation could potentially cut the global warming effect of flying by 50 to 90%, making it a pivotal innovation in the industry.
AIAA's CEO, Dan Dumbacher, highlighted the importance of hydrogen-powered flight in reducing CO2 emissions in aviation. The course, taught by experts in hydrogen aviation, caters to aerospace engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers, and professionals interested in zero-carbon electric aircraft and unmanned systems. Participants will delve into hydrogen fundamentals before exploring design aspects for fixed-wing and VTOL aircraft using hydrogen.
Apart from technical knowledge, the course will also touch on the future landscape of hydrogen-enabled airports, regulatory policies, and the economic implications of this transformation in aerospace. Attendees have the opportunity to earn 20 classroom hours or 2.0 CEU/PDH, with varied pricing for AIAA members, students, and non-members, along with group discounts.
