The University of Nottingham is leading a groundbreaking project focusing on cryogenics research to advance hydrogen flight innovation. With a £5.3m investment, the project aims to develop, manufacture, and test a new cryogenic hydrogen-electric propulsion system. The university's Power Electronics, Machines and Control (PEMC) research group will spearhead the efforts, supporting full motor design and cryogenic inverter technology development. Engineers at the university will conduct research at a dedicated hydrogen propulsion systems facility, equipped with state-of-the-art labs including a cryogenics lab, systems integration lab, and altitude environment chamber for testing. The project, part of the larger £44m H2FlyGHT initiative, aims to demonstrate an integrated propulsion system at the 2 MW scale, encompassing fuel cell power generation, cryogenic power distribution, and advanced drive systems. Professor Chris Gerada, leading the project, envisions achieving net zero air travel through technological innovation. This initiative not only pushes the boundaries of what is possible but also aims to accelerate economic growth in the East Midlands, known for its green industries and advanced manufacturing. Supported by partners like GKN Aerospace and the Universities of Manchester and Nottingham, the project receives backing from the UK government's Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) program, underscoring its significance in shaping the future of sustainable air travel.
