Aircraft Engineering:
Design of hydrogen airplane
Abstract
In the conceptual design project for a climate-neutral regional airliner, our team from the University of Twente was tasked with developing a sustainable aircraft for Twente In The Air Netherlands (TITAN), aiming to meet stringent environmental standards set by Airbus. The project encompassed the entire design process, from defining requirements and technical specifications to generating concepts and finalizing a feasible design. This included meticulous considerations of mass estimation, flight envelope, and performance metrics. The design focused on integrating hydrogen combustion engines to ensure zero CO2 emissions, optimizing aerodynamics, and enhancing passenger comfort and safety. Through iterative testing and evaluation, we achieved a conceptual design that aligns with both airworthiness standards and the ambitious climate goals, paving the way for a new era of sustainable aviation.
