The research addresses critical challenges associated with storing hydrogen in its liquid state. The process requires extreme cold temperatures, durable mechanical construction, and more. The proposed framework integrates multiple engineering analyses — including thermal performance, structural integrity, fatigue life, and impact resistance — into a unified system specifically designed to simulate the demanding conditions of UAV flight.
By creating a comprehensive set of simulation tools and a supporting database of material properties, the liquid hydrogen storage study aims to establish rigorous safety benchmarks that can guide the future design and certification of these systems.
