IE-FLIGHT hydrogen fuel cells enabling zero emission-aviation
IE-FLIGHT™ is is our high-power product line for the aviation sector. From 200kW to multi-megawatt scale, these systems have been developed to achieve zero-emission flight over for eVTOL, Part-23 and Part-25 aircraft serving sub-regional and regional markets.
Hydrogen fuel cells offer a zero-emission power source for future sustainable aircraft and are a competitive technology for aircraft potentially up to 100 seats.
In development since 2019 – under the ATI funded H2GEAR programme – Intelligent Energy’s IE-FLIGHT™ fuel cell systems offers class-leading current and power densities within an optimised packaging, building an effective foundation for application in future propulsion or APU applications.
