The paper presents the current development of the AOS-H2 electric motor-glider project. The project encompasses the design and manufacture of an electric propulsion system (EPS) and a CF/epoxy airframe to be used as a flying test platform for the designed EPS. A 40-kW electric motor is supplied by a 10-kW PEM fuel cell stack and a Li-ion battery during run-up and ascent and by the fuel cell stack alone during steady flight. The airframe and the EPS have been completed; the results of bench tests of the EPS have proved that it meets the established requirements..
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
