What Makes CAeS Unique?
Integration Capability
- Integration capability enables commercially viable applications to multiple platforms
- Experience has driven our approach to focus on the integration challenges that define the requirements for the sub-system
- New platforms and applications will inform different requirements for drivetrain that must be understood at platform level to result in a commercially viable product
Focus
- Initial focus on gaseous applications to gain foothold and early market entry
- Small aircraft (125kW-600kW installed power) can be commercially viable with gaseous hydrogen
- Gaseous technology and infrastructure is much more mature than liquid, and therefore enables earlier Entry into Service (EIS)
- Opportunity to gather vital data to inform future product improvements at platform level to result in commercially viable product
Strategic Partnering Approach
- CAeS’ approach is to strategically partner with companies developing key technologies (EPU, fuel cell stack, etc), which enables us to focus investment on core IP and technology development in the fuel cell system, drivetrain integration and aircraft level integration
Such a revolution in technology requires a collaborative approach to all aspects of the ecosystem. Our partnership approach with operators, airlines and hydrogen infrastructure providers allows us to leverage each others’ expertise
Experience & Track Record
- Almost 30 years’ experience in the aerospace industry, designing and certifying complex modifications to aircraft and whole aircraft ground and flight test demonstrators
- Regulatory approvals covering design and certification, production and aircraft maintenance
- Working closely with operators on routes analysis and performance modelling has helped us identify market requirements early on that can be fed into the product development
