WG-80
Sustainability

Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Systems

WG-80 was established to develop guidelines and collect best practices to support qualification and certification of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems in the various intended applications for aerospace vehicles. The Hydrogen Fuel Cell activity is part of the more electrical aircraft strategy. It is looking into hydrogen fuel cell technology airborne use cases and certification objectives. The objective is to look into recommendations, to collect best practices, and to develop guidelines. Performance requirements such as power and reliability are outside the scope of this working group. WG-80 is working as a joint group with SAE AE-7F.
