The airplane manufacturer is developing cryogenic hydrogen storage tanks.
They call them cold hearts, and they are at the center of their new hydrogen-based ZEROe aircraft.to market by 2035, but it needs to be stored at an exceptionally chilly -253°C. To use this technology means developing innovative cryogenic hydrogen storage tanks. Luckily, we have teams around our network with just the right set of skills to build them,” said the company in its blog.
“But regardless of these options there is a constant at work: hydrogen has to be kept very cold. It needs to be stored at -253°C, and kept at that temperature consistently throughout the whole flight, even when the tanks are depleted," further explained the plane manufacturer. That's why storage tanks for hydrogen-powered aircraft are such an essential component of future hydrogen-powered flight. However, they are tricky to engineer as they are completely different to those you might find on a traditional aircraft.To develop these tanks Airbus established Zero Emission Development Centers in Nantes, France, and Bremen, Germany about 15 months ago that share the responsibility of spearheading this new technology.
“It’s a real testament to the teamwork across our sites to see this first tank being manufactured so quickly. We want to optimize the tank for greater efficiency and to further reduce its environmental footprint: after all, a zero-emission aircraft needs to be as close to zero emission as possible throughout its whole life cycle,” said Chris Redfern, Head of Manufacturing, ZEROe Aircraft and Head of Propulsion Industrial Architect.
The main goals of the team are to maximize space, improve performance, and simplify the manufacturing process. It will take around another year to build and test this second prototype and the final objective is to have a tank ready to install in the A380 demonstrator by 2026-2028.s bringing sustainability to the forefront of the industry.
