Scientists at the Moscow Aviation Institute have developed an innovative technology for cooling the electronic converters of hydrogen planes. This technology utilizes the aircraft’s fuel to reduce weight and increase flight duration, as reported by the university’s press service in an interview with RIA Novosti.
The technology involves using liquefied hydrogen to cool the power electronic converters on board the aircraft. This is expected to significantly improve the efficiency of the converter compared to traditional cooling methods.
Hydrogen-powered hybrid aircraft are considered a promising direction in the development of the aviation industry. Projects in this area are underway not only in Russia but also around the world.
Engine hybridization will reduce the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere and increase the flight duration several times over.
