FlyECO Project

🌍✨ Reflecting on a productive and insightful experience at 14th EASN - European Aeronautics Science Network International Conference We were honored to represent our FlyECO Project at this year's event, where our team delivered presentations, showcasing key findings and initial results related to novel integrated power and propulsion systems. A key highlight was our involvement in a joint panel discussion with HYLENA Project on “Novel Solid Oxide FC-based propulsion systems in aviation”, which provided an excellent platform to discuss challenges of SOFC technology today and their potential for being a source of propulsive energy in an aircraft. The dialogue with experts, researchers and industry representatives reinforced the value of collaboration in advancing research and innovation. A big thank you to all the participants, our fantastic moderator, Arvind Gangoli Rao, and everyone involved in the organization from CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency for creating such an engaging environment. We look forward to building on these discussions and continuing our work in driving impactful research. #HorizonEurope #sustainableaviation #Collaboration #HorizonEU

On the final day of the 14th EASN - European Aeronautics Science Network Conference, Evangelia Pontika (Cranfield University) presented in the session “Hydrogen Powered Aircraft” initial results from the first six months of the FlyECO Project on the Gas Turbine (GT) thermodynamic exploration when integrated with Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC), and discussed some of the challenges and questions we have to address in the project 🔎: - How compatible are the GT bleed air conditions with the SOFC requirements and how can we manage the GT-SOFC condition mismatch❓ - Should we design the hybrid turboprop engine cycle for higher temperatures and smaller core or lower temperatures and larger core❓ - What effects may constrain the integration and the potential thermodynamic benefit❓ 💡 Stay tuned as we answer these questions and more in the next year in upcoming dissemination activities and publications. #cleanaviation #FlyECO #Science

Today we introduce the #FlyECO team at DLR Institut of Combustion Technology.. ...The DLR Institute of Combustion Technology (DLR-VT) contributes to this exciting project with three of its departments. It supports the project with its wide expertise in combustor development and testing, setup and characterisation of gas turbine rigs, optical combustion and flow diagnostics, CFD and kinetic modelling as well as SAF prescreening and property analysis. The institute runs several gas turbine rigs for studying and demonstrating innovative cycles in aeronautics and stationary energy supply. Furthermore, it runs many atmospheric and pressurised single burner test rigs for developing, analysing and testing gas turbine combustors. In #FlyECO the department of Micro Gas Turbines focusses on demonstrating the global controllers and the interaction between the SOFC exhaust gases and the gas turbine on its hybrid-electric gas turbine test rig (HeBo) using a hardware-in-the-loop setup. The department of Combustor Systems and Diagnostics analyses the impact of SOFC exhaust gases on a generic hydrogen gas turbine combustor in a pressurized combustor rig. Last but not least, the department of Chemical Kinetics and Analytics adds its reactor network simulations to the overall simulation setup to predict NOx emissions for variable conditions. Additional to the experimental and simulation work, the institute leads the work package 4 where the experimental tests are located. 🧑🔬 We are looking forward to working together with our dear project partners in a challenging and exciting #FlyECO project. And we are very happy about the collaborative atmosphere between all partners. 🥼
