20.500.12556/DKUM-92064 Maximum take-off mass estimation of a 19-seat fuel cell aircraft consuming liquid hydrogen In this paper, the maximum take-off mass (MTOM) of a 19-seat fuel cell aircraft with similar characteristics to a conventional 19-seat aircraft is estimated using the combination of a rapid method and semi-empirical equations. The study shows that the MTOM of a 19-seat fuel cell aircraft with current technology would be 25% greater than that of a conventional aircraft. However, with the expected technological improvements, the MTOM of a 19-seat fuel cell aircraft could reach lower values than that of a conventional aircraft. The most important parameter affecting the MTOM of fuel cell aircraft is the power-to-weight ratio of the fuel cells. If this ratio of fuel cell aircraft does not improve significantly in the future, fuel cell aircraft with lower power loading will become the preferred choice; thus, certain trade-offs in flight performance, such as a longer takeoff distance, will be accepted. The study provides the basis for further economic analysis of fuel cell aircraft, which has yet to be conducted. fuel cell aircraf general aviation turboprop aircraft all-electric aircraft letala z gorivnimi celicami splošno letalstvo turbopropelersko letalo električna letala hibridna letala true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability © 2020 by the authors Članek v reviji 2025-03-13 14:50:14 2025-03-13 14:50:14 2025-03-14 03:27:42 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 15 str. iss. 14 (8392) Vol. 14 July 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2022-06-07 2022-07-06 2022-07-08 656.7:629.7.036.7 117688579 10.3390/su14148392 2071-1050 sustainability-14-08392-v2.pdf sustainability-14-08392-v2.pdf 1 AA1A7BAD9347F100DA42EC96865B807C 69849b04549686357c1c0a09bed01b0339d4ed24f322345eff074803377945ab 576483f1-0012-11f0-82d0-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=189270 https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/14/14/8392 0 5e3dcb98-0012-11f0-82d0-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=189271 Fakulteta za gradbeništvo, prometno inženirstvo in arhitekturo 0 0 0
