Fuel Cell Aviation Research
Sector: Airport • Location: Storrs, Connecticut, United States
Source: UConn Today
The UConn team is developing high power, lightweight, multi-fueled solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) for aviation applications. These fuel cells can generate electricity directly from natural gas, propane, or jet fuels, aiming to eliminate range limitations of current battery-powered aviation and enable long-range electric propulsion.
