Figure out how to use liquid hydrogen as fuel • Burning hydrogen to produce electricity has water vapor as exhaust. • Solving challenges related to safety, engineering, electrical, thermal, infrastructure, and societal acceptance helps aviation. Increase power and efficiency without increasing weight • Liquid hydrogen is very cold (cryogenic), which enables using superconductors to greatly… Continue reading Our Goals

NASA selects FAMU-FSU College of Engineering to help develop sustainable aviation system
Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering will help NASA develop the future of sustainable aviation as part of a five-year, $10 million project. FAMU-FSU Professor of Mechanical Engineering Louis Cattafesta will lead a team in developing a hybrid electric power system that uses turboelectric generators and fuel cells. The system is powered by hydrogen… Continue reading NASA selects FAMU-FSU College of Engineering to help develop sustainable aviation system
