Australia -based zero emission aircraft designer and manufacturer AMSL AERO will develop new cooling systems for hydrogen fuel cell aircraft by collaborating with Conflux Technology, which provides cooling solutions for Formula 1 automobile engines. This innovative system will be used in the ASL Aero’s long -range zero -emission electric vertical take -off and landing (EVTol) plane. Vertiia’nın F1 cars will be as fast as it is underlined.

At F1 speed, 1,000 kilometers range

The main purpose of the cooperation is to pioneer a flight technology that can perform a distance of 1,000 kilometers, which can perform Formula 1 speed and zero emission flights. In line with this target, Conflux developed three innovative heat exchangers concept to minimize weight and volume by reducing the amount of air friction while managing continuous heat loads during the flight.

The advanced heat transfer technology developed by Conflux will cool the hydrogen fuel cells of the Vertiia model of ASL Aero and the aircraft will be able to cruise at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.

ASL Aero announced that Vertiia had realized its first free flights by performing a first in Australian aviation history at the end of 2024. This year, Vertiia’s first flights with hydrogen-electric power will be held with the cooling technology developed by Conflux.

AMSL Aero announced that the first stage of the project was completed. This phase was focused on developing three innovative heat exchanger designs to minimize weight and volume while effectively managed continuous heat loads encountered during the flight. Following the success of this stage successfully, the project goes to the second stage. At this stage, the aim of the team is to optimize and production of a full -scale concept to be integrated into Vertiia’s hydrogen fuel cell system.
