Aerospace power systems

The Project will use game changing technology, as its project goals are: (i) to develop new power architecture based on innovative fuel cells/thermoelectric generators for the aircraft industry (ii) support the development of low cost, innovative thermoelectric generators as a complimentary game changing power solution which can revolutionise the aerospace industry sector. The project will involve developing mathematical models for aerospace power systems and hardware design and testing of new power sources using fuel cell, thermoelectric module and novel material technology for aircraft/spacecraft.
