Advancing cryogenic storage systems for flight-worthy tanks
NCC has tested a range of composite cryogenic storage tanks with liquid hydrogen that it has designed and manufactured to support the UK’s transition to the hydrogen economy.
The Farnborough International Airshow 2024 hosts world leading innovators from aerospace, defence and beyond.
As part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, the National Composites Centre (NCC) is joining the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) at their technology showcase, taking visitors on a journey into the future of sustainable aviation.
Along with other HVM Catapult centres and NCC partners, we’ll be showcasing how our expertise in composite cryogenic hydrogen storage tanks is enabling net zero aviation. Trialled as part of the ATI FlyZero programme, the tank was designed, manufactured and tested with liquid hydrogen.
Book a tour to engage with our demonstrator at the ATI Stand 3501.
The ATI theatre is hosting expert speakers from across UK industry to share the latest technologies, trends and insights powering advances in sustainable aviation.
Catch Kevin Mee, Head of Aerospace presenting “Accelerating innovation in composites for liquid hydrogen storage on future zero-carbon emission aircraft”, on Tuesday, 23 July at the ATI theatre (Hall 3, Stand 3501).
Kevin, and other NCC experts, will be available throughout FIA to share more about the NCC engineering capabilities and innovative solutions to meet your business needs:
