HyPoTraDe

HyPoTraDe is an EU-funded project, under the Clean Aviation research program. HyPoTraDe aims to design, assemble, and ground-test a set of 500-kW modular fuel cell-battery hybrid-electric DEP powertrain architectures, emulating operation in a relevant environment (FL > 150). The ground testing campaign will lead to characterization of the optimal system architecture assessment of the fail-safe capabilities of the modular powertrain. The goal is to provide an comprehensive understanding of the operational characteristic of modular fuel cell hybrid-electric powertrains to enable the use of hydrogen-powered aircraft and therefore reduce emissions. The project is supported by the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking and its members. Funded by the European Union, under Grant Agreement No. 101101998.
