Test infrastructure for cryogenic hydrogen tanks in application-oriented scaling

Half tanks – full understanding in XL!

The UpLift project is developing and testing innovative hydrogen tanks for future short-haul aircraft. The focus here is on weight-saving composite materials, high-performance insulation systems and proof of safety and leak-tightness under real-life conditions. UpLift thus provides aircraft manufacturers, suppliers and decision-makers with a crucial basis for driving forward the climate neutrality of air transport…

3D-printed CFRP components – new impregnation technology reduces costs

A newly developed impregnation technology is set to reduce manufacturing costs for continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastic 3D printing filaments by up to 80 percent. Impregnation capabilities integrated into the extruder nozzle open up cost-effective economic application options for industry, especially in connection with additive manufacturing processes. A new impregnation technology The impregnation technology is based on…
