WP1 – H2 Engine Fuel System design & make
The H2 Engine fuel system system and component design activities supported the concept phase and culminated with the Final Concept Review for a Flight Test configuration. As a consequence of the change in the new Hydrogen Combustion (H2C) demonstrator strategy, the project scope got reconfigured for ground testing only and tailored to the wet rig configuration. Top project objectives and requirements were updated, constraints on equipment got relaxed (no longer flight safety), opportunities were identified for a SEFS architecture simplification, physical installation got revised, and a functional alternative to capsules was specified.
WP2 - Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) System equipment design & make
From the WHR concept selection coming from HYDEA,
- Aerothermal conceptual design review was passed, including test enabling hardware. Coupon tests objectives were set, coupons were defined (CAD & drawings).
- Mechanical conceptual design review was completed
With regards to the hardware delivery related activities, RFI were sent and the received responses got evaluated.
WP3 - Propulsion System preparation for Flight Test Demonstrator (FTD)
Activities related to the FTD propulsion system structural architecture design covered the definition and verification of thermal management & ventilation system architecture and integration into the nacelle and stub. Simulation of Fire Risk Hydrogen leak in propulsion perimeter were performed. Extensive and main work was performed on the capsule design: consolidation of the capsule architecture, system installation analysis, identification of a baseline design including manufacturing strategy, delivery of the FEM elements (capsule, stub).
With regards to the FTD systems maturation and flight clearance initiation, the fire prevention systems architecture, testing strategy and documentation were defined. Large part of the activities covered the overall End-to-End Fuel and Propulsion System (EFPS) definition, the related specification document for modelling activities was defined.
