On the 16th and 17th of April, employees of the Research Centre for Hydrogen Technologies and the Research Centre for Electromobility and Intelligent Transport held a training session on the technology challenges of hydrogen-powered aviation with Mr Pawel Adamczuk, a professional pilot at PLL LOT and a glider instructor. Issues discussed included operation and integration of hydrogen fuel cells in aircraft propulsion, storage of gaseous and liquid hydrogen on board aircraft and hydrogen safety.
Paweł Adamczuk is a graduate of the Air Force Military Academy – the ‘Orląt School’ – where he followed an individual programme geared towards test aviation. Among other things, he pursues his unusual passions as a test pilot of the world’s first four-seat H2FLY HY4 electric aircraft powered by hydrogen cells.
