FIBRE VOLUME CONTENT AS A KEY FACTOR IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRYOGENIC TYPE V HYDROGEN TANK
Hydrogen is seen as a promising energy source of the future, particularly in aviation. In order to store it efficiently on board commercial aircraft, it is liquefied, i.e. kept cryogenically at -253 °C. This minimises its volume. This minimises its volume, but the cold temperatures place high demands on the materials used. Depending on the…
