The HYLENA Project (HYdrogen eLectrical Engine Novel Architecture) aims to reduce aviation's climate impact by introducing a novel aircraft engine architecture: a solid oxide fuel cell - gas turbine (SOFC-GT) hybrid.⚡🔥💪 It not only uses the electrical power produced by the fuel cell but also the generated heat to support the gas turbine cycle. This combination leads to higher overall efficiency of the engine (compared to state-of-the-art turboshaft engines). It is also carbon-neutral thanks to the use of hydrogen as fuel. 🤝Project partners are Airbus, Delft University of Technology, DLR Institut für Technische Thermodynamik, Leibniz Universität Hannover - Institute of Thermodynamics, LEPMI laboratory Grenoble and #BauhausLuftfahrt. 🔎 Want to know more? 👉 Check out our website or get in contact with Florian Winter. #ClimateNeutralAviation #BauhausLuftfahrtProjects
