Author information unavailable

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Airbus SAS, an aircraft manufacturing subsidiary of the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS), has successfully tested a fuel cell system in flight. For the first time on a civil aircraft, this energy source powered the aircraft's backup hydraulic and electric power systems. The fuel cell system developed by Airbus and Michelin was tested on the A320 test aircraft owned by the DLR German Aerospace Center.
