Luchtvaart in Transitie

In our latest Luchtvaart in Transitie Technical Projects Series, we dive into the exciting work happening within the HOT project, led by Fokker Next Gen. This project focuses on developing a liquid hydrogen storage and distribution system for next-generation hydrogen combustion aircraft. 🔧  Jenny van der Pols and Kasper Uithof explain how the team has completed the system design, set up an initial version of a virtual twin and made initial preparations for an iron bird. The next phase? Creation, testing, and validating the virtual twin, the iron bird, and making a digital twin of the iron bird. The digital twin is a digital representation of the iron bird, allowing seamless integration of the physical and digital worlds. This enables real-time data collection and monitoring to improve the storage, distribution and propulsion system. 🔗 Watch the video to learn more about this groundbreaking work: https://lnkd.in/eQ5YnYC3 #NGF #SustainableAviation #Hydrogen Nationaal Groeifonds Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat Ron van Baaren Adriana van der Linden

✈️ Proud to Be Part of the Alliance for Zero Emission Aviation! At Luchtvaart in Transitie(LiT), we are excited to be an active member of the Alliance for Zero Emission Aviation (#AZEA), a collaborative initiative uniting private and public partners committed to paving the way for hydrogen-powered and electric aircraft. The Alliance serves as a vital platform for stakeholders across the aviation ecosystem, encouraging dialogue and planning for the commercial rollout of climate-neutral air transport solutions. We believe that involving smaller industry players and startups is essential for driving innovation and achieving our shared sustainability goals. In their latest video, our Managing Director, Ron van Manen, discusses the significance of this collaboration and what it means for the future of aviation. 🔗 Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/ewAnZ-fj #HorizonEurope #Hydrogen #EUGreenDeal #SustainableAviation European Commission

In our latest video from the Luchtvaart in Transitie Technical Project Series, we dive into the innovative work being done on the Lightweight Composites and Structures project, led by GKN Fokker. This project focuses on developing advanced lightweight materials to reduce the weight of aircraft components, which plays a crucial role in supporting sustainable aviation. As Arnt Offringa explains, these new thermoplastic composites not only help lower CO2 emissions but also enable the adoption of heavier propulsion systems like hydrogen and electric-powered aircraft. 💡 We’re also improving the efficiency of aircraft production by cutting down energy consumption and eliminating the need for traditional, capital-intensive methods like autoclaving. Our welding technologies replace conventional bolting, further enhancing sustainability and affordability. 🔗 Watch the full video here to learn more about the groundbreaking technologies we’re developing: https://lnkd.in/eGUZuJax #NGF #SustainableAviation Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat Nationaal Groeifonds
