Abstract

Fuel cell-powered aircraft are an emerging and important application of fuel cell and advanced aircraft technologies. This paper presents and analyzes test results for a fuel cell-powered unmanned aerial vehicle. The aircraft under analysis is a fully functional technology demonstrator that uses a polymer electrolyte fuel cell system fueled by compressed hydrogen. The tested performance of the fuel cell system, propulsion system and aircraft is critically evaluated using data from flight and laboratory testing.
