ZeroAvia today announced that it has signed a deal which will see it support the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) in the development and testing of liquid hydrogen storage systems for aircraft. As part of the agreement, ZeroAvia will advise KAERI on the design for these systems, while embarking on a multi-year testing project utilizing ZeroAvia’s state-of-the-art LH2 test facility at Cotswold Airport in the UK.
ZeroAvia’s Liquid Hydrogen Test Centre (LHTC) was built to support ZeroAvia’s aircraft and component liquid hydrogen testing and meets all necessary ATEX and DSEAR safety requirements. The specially modified shelter enables a testing setup that is protected from the elements but enables safe leak risk mitigation.
ZeroAvia and KAERI will work together on performance and safety testing through several stages of design, ultimately culminating in a full ground test campaign of the system.
John Gallagher
Head of Hydrogen Management Systems, ZeroAvia
“The team and facility we have built at ZeroAvia represents a unique capability globally for performing a vast array of safe and comprehensive tests of liquid hydrogen systems, from key components to full storage systems, and across a variety of sectors and applications. This partnership with KAERI promises to advance liquid hydrogen aviation capabilities significantly and we are delighted to be working with their team on the project.”
