UPSCALING LIGHTER-THAN-AIR TECHNOLOGY CO-OPERATION PLATFORM (U-LTA)

FRANK NEUMANN INSTITUTE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE ENVIRONMENT AND INNOVATION

SLIDE 2

Renaissance LTA aviation since 2016 New platforms: better materials, unmanned, artificial intelligence, monitoring, telecom, surveillance.

SLIDE 3

COMMON CHALLENGES I:

Financing upscaling.
Ground infrastructure, so far no established

O & M infra.

SLIDE 4

COMMON CHALLENGES II:

Certification and safety

H2 Use in the air (Fuel Cells, Liftgas in some cases)

Personnel & LTA dedicated staff

for upscaling processes

SLIDE 5

.

Platform contributors (since 2019)

SLIDE 6

NEXT STEPS:

 ‘Opportunities and challenges’ paper (October 2020).  Exploring integration in EU Financing Programmes and investigate establishment of a dedicated investment platform.

SLIDE 7

NEXT STEPS:

 European agencies and European Parliament online meeting and start U-LTA working group on H2 use by LTA carriers on the ground and in air.  First upcoming physical meeting: Ground operations aspects and hydrogen aspects- 23-26 November 2020 Berlin (in addition to ‘the future aviation event’).

LCA60T : A BREAKTHROUGH AND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION

Dimensions

150m (L) x 50m (Diam)

Rigid structure

For safety

Large cargo bay

80m (L) x 8m (W) x 5m (H)

8 propulsion points

Cruise – 100 km/h Vertical Take-Off and Landing In-Flight Load Exchange

10 Helium cells

This inert gas will ensure lift

Flexible solution

Point-to-point transportation

60 tonnes payload

For various applications

Operational base

Green electricity solutions

FLYING WHALES PLAN FOR 0 EMISSION

Mechanical Power generator Electrical Power generator

Fuel System

Electrical Power distribution

Thrusters Buffer Fuel Cell H2 tank

Electrical Power distribution

Thrusters Buffer

Step 1: H2 fuel cell technology is not available for MWs yet => Step 1 = hybrid propulsion Step 2: H2 fuel cell technology is available for MWs & electrification is already on board => 0 emission EUSEW 25th June 2020

SLIDE 14

LCA60T: A SAFE AND GREEN SOLUTION

LOW ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

Low carbon emissions
No fuel used for lift
No need for extra transportation

infrastructure LOW COST

Low operating costs
No impact on existing infrastructures

SAFE FLEXIBLE

Helium used as lifting gas
EASA certified
Secured ground management
Point to point
Loading / unloading on hover flight
Up to 60 tons payload, in cargo hold or

under-slings
