NASA-funded scientists are working on an eco-friendly electric aircraft powered by low temperatures.
Liquefied hydrogen fuel.
The engineers got three years and $6 million (£4. 6million)
Creating technologies that can revolutionize the aviation industry.
The aviation industry is often severely criticized for not doing enough to help save the environment.
The International Air Transport Association estimates that more passengers will be flying in 2036, more people alive today.
Although the International Air Transport Association claims that air travel accounts for only 2%
Many believe that CO2 emissions are actually higher in 2017 and will definitely increase.
At the same time, hydrogen has finally become a cost
An effective source of fuel.
However, hydrogen batteries themselves may be able to power trains or turbines, but they lack the ability to power jet engines without weighing because they take up a lot of space. 8-
Fortunately, University of Illinois researchers involved in the project have found a way to cool hydrogen batteries at low temperatures so they can be condensed into liquid and used as fuel.
When this hydrogen liquid is mixed with oxygen in the engine, there will be a strong reaction, which results in a large amount of energy that can be converted into electricity to drive the power propulsion system.
The technology that uses this fuel to power aircraft is not yet available, which is why Nasa is getting funding.
The researchers warned that air travel in the United States is expected to increase by 90 percent in the next 20 years, so they hope to build a plane that can actively reduce emissions before that.
The lead researcher for the 0. 414 billion piece of rubbish Philip Ansel project found on the remote island near Australia said: "Basically, the project focuses on the development of an all-electric aircraft platform using low temperature liquid hydrogen as an energy storage method.
"Hydrogen chemical energy is converted into electric energy through a series of fuel cells, driving the super
Efficient power propulsion system. The low-
The temperature requirements of the hydrogen system also provide the opportunity to use low temperature or non-destructive energy transmission and high temperature transmission
Power motor system.
"His conclusion is that his team wants to address the technical gaps in the design of electric aircraft and create the first fully electric aircraft in the future.
