Jacques-Alexis Verrecchia, Head of Product at Beyond Aero, talks about exciting developments in fuel cell powered aviation.
This episode of Designing the Future is brought to you by Dassault Systèmes.
In the move to decarbonized transportation, the most difficult sector to move to alternate energy is aviation. The amount of chemical potential energy stored in a unit volume of hydrocarbon fuel is enormous, and his high energy density is an essential component in the design of modern aircraft that deliver range and payload requirements that keep air travel efficient and affordable.
But this may be changing, with a new generation of electric technologies. Batteries are heavy, but the addition of fuel cells promises to claw back much of the weight advantages of hydrocarbon fuels without the carbon footprint.
Jim Anderton spoke with Jacques Alexis Verrecchia, Head of Product at Beyond Aero about some exciting developments in fuel cell powered aviation.
