GKN Aerospace has become a core partner in the ICEFlight (Innovative Cryogenic Electric Flight) project, initiated by Airbus in collaboration with several Dutch partners. The project focuses on advancing cryogenic technologies with a specific emphasis on utilizing liquid hydrogen as fuel and for cooling the electrical system. By optimizing the performance of next-gen powertrains, the project aims to contribute to the development of more efficient aircraft. One of the key aspects of the initiative includes the establishment of testing facilities in the Netherlands dedicated to researching and refining cryogenic systems. Russ Dunn, the CTO of GKN Aerospace, expressed the company's pride in participating in the ICEFlight project, highlighting their dual expertise in hydrogen systems and electrification. Dunn believes that this collaboration with Airbus and Dutch entities is a crucial step towards making innovative solutions viable for larger aircraft applications. The partnership is expected to leverage the leading capabilities of each entity in power network design and cryogenic applications, showcasing a comprehensive approach to advancing aviation technologies.
