Hydrogen Storage in a Commuter Aircraft: Combining Classical Engineering Design Process with Model-Based System Engineering for CFRP Pressure Vessel Integration
摘要
For the integration of hydrogen storage in the center wing of a commuter aircraft, the requirements for the storage system are specified and the boundary conditions are analyzed. High-pressure storage tanks with increased gravimetric storage density are designed for the resulting installation space. In the first step, an analytical dimensioning of the tank is carried out. In the next step, numerical manufacturing and structural simulations are done and an exemplary manufacturing technology is implemented. The predesigned tank is integrated into a model-based design model, from which the flight range and any necessary system adjustments to increase the range are derived.
