FAMU-FSU Researchers Pioneer New Hydrogen Storage System for Zero-Emission Aviation

Promising cryogenic design could transform sustainable aircraft propulsion by 2035

Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have engineered a practical liquid hydrogen storage and delivery system that brings zero-emission aviation significantly closer to reality. Their innovative design addresses multiple engineering challenges simultaneously, enabling hydrogen to serve as both a clean fuel and an integrated cooling medium for critical power systems in next-generation electric aircraft.

The aviation industry aims to reduce carbon emissions and fuel use to help protect the planet. Electric planes could play a key role in this effort, but they require systems that are lightweight, reliable, and efficient. Our project addresses this by developing a smaller version of a motor designed for electric planes. Using advanced technology, we aimed to create a compact, powerful, and efficient motor to meet the demands of flight.
