this engine could almost provide enough power to get you from london to glasgow, but not quite. if you wanted to scale it up for international flights, would you just make the same thing bigger or is it a totally different exercise? it is scalable until a certain power, but then we ll have to change technology. getting this high power density system that will allow to have a lot of power but minimal weight to be integrated on an aircraft is really a challenge. and that probably means completely redesigning the plane. everything will be shrunk. some parts of the engine, of the fuel cell, will be sitting inside of the nacelle, and also the storage tank, which is, uh, going to be probably the largest, uh, you know, piece of equipment they will actually bring outside, 0k? right. so either on the side of the fuselage, or we will hang it on the wing. making everything fit isn t the only challenge, though. you need to have the maintenance and repair organisation. the whole process
so you have to build up your layers to create the power to take off an aircraft. this engine could almost provide enough power to get you from london to glasgow, but not quite. if you wanted to scale it up for international flights, would you just make the same thing bigger or is it a totally different exercise? it is scalable until a certain power, but then we ll have to change technology. getting this high power density system that will allow to have a lot of power but minimal weight to be integrated on an aircraft is really a challenge. and that probably means completely redesigning the plane. everything will be shrunk. some parts of the engine, of the fuel cell, will be sitting inside of the nacelle, and also the storage tank, which is, uh, going to be probably the largest, uh, you know, piece of equipment they will actually bring outside, 0k? right. so either on the side of the fuselage, or we will hang it on the wing.
