Innovative RAMPF Resin Enables Success of HYFLY H167 Test Aircraft
Key Ideas
- Successful maiden flight of HYFLY H167 test aircraft featuring RAMPF's epoxy resin for the battery box housing.
- Collaboration between RAMPF and Kasaero GmbH results in robust and lightweight battery box housing for hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system.
- Epoxy resin used in the housing exhibits flame retardant properties and meets stringent safety tests.
- RAMPF's capabilities in composite design lead to efficient production and cost savings of up to 30% in comparison to traditional solutions.
The maiden flight of the HYFLY H167 hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system was a success, showcasing the use of RAMPF's high performance epoxy resin, RAKU® TOOL EI-2511/EH-2990, in creating the battery box housing. Collaborating with Kasaero GmbH, RAMPF designed and manufactured a robust yet lightweight housing for the hydrogen fuel cell system. The composite parts were produced using Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Moulding (VARTM), with the final assembly carried out by RAMPF. The epoxy resin chosen for the project exhibited flame retardant properties and met various safety tests. RAMPF's expertise in composite design allowed for the quick and efficient production of prototypes with significant cost savings compared to traditional methods.
