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.

From Space Coast to Student Launch: Electrical Engineering Senior Reaches for the Stars

From NASA’s Student Launch Challenge to precision airbrake technology, electrical engineering senior Adin Weatherby combines technical innovation with community impact.

Building Tomorrow’s Aerospace Technology Today

Growing up on Florida’s Space Coast, Adin Weatherby was destined for an engineering career that reaches for the stars.

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.
