Our challenges:
Hydrogen based aircraft require novel technologies from
fundamental levels as materials or electro-chemistry to
systems and their integration into the aircraft
Bringing novel technologies together and making use of
synergies does require multiple disciplines and their
interdisciplinary effort
In a joint effort, you will develop concepts for new energy
systems based on batteries and/or fuel cells. This will address
all relevant areas from energy storage and provisioning,
through thermal management to the final propulsive power on
aircraft level
Assessing the potential of those novel concepts will also
include life-cycle aspects with evaluation of ecological and
techno-economic criteria as well as other performance
indicators
Evaluating their impact on climate change and possible
mitigations options
We need you because:
You have successfully completed your master and wish to
obtain a PhD or you are a Post-Doc and want to gain know-
