Green Light-Development of Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft Remains Stuck In Low Gear
Wednesday, August 24, 2005
"Research by the UK’s Cranfield University has concluded that fuel cells are still far too heavy for propulsion. A large aircraft requires many megawatts, generated from at least two turbine engines weighing around 3,900kg (8,600lb) each. The Cranfield study found that today’s best fuel cells would generate 670-1,000kW on average and would weigh over 3,200kg each." Source: fuelcellsworks.com
