PRESS RELEASE
TU Delft researchers develop optical hydrogen sensors for aerospace applications
Within the OVERLEAF project, researchers have find that tantalum outperforms palladium-based materials for hydrogen sensing at temperatures up to 270°c
Towards a new shift in the aviation industry
OVERLEAF aims to develop a game-changing Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) storage tank to enable the transition towards H2 -powered aviation. It will thus contribute towards the goals of the EU Green Deal by 2050 for the aviation sector.
Funded by
the European Union
We fly beyond the current innovation landscape and towards:
Our innovation »
Reduction of CO₂ and non-CO₂ emissions
Gravimetric index scaled up to 40%
Lighter fuel storage tank
LPH integration in the aircraft structure
Economically viable solution in aviation
Safe H₂ storage
Tank materials with >75% circularity
