Airbus A320 fuel cell demonstrator
This ex Nikki A320 is used by Airbus and the DLR for fuel cell research. It was the first civil aircraft to use this innovative energy source which powered the aircraft's back-up hydraulic and electric power systems. During the tests, the hydrogen and oxygen based fuel cell system generated up to 20 Kilo Watts (kW) of electrical power. The emission free fuel cell system generates water as a "waste" product. The fuel cell system powered the aircraft's electric motor pump and the back-up hydraulic circuit and also operated the aircraft's ailerons. The system's robustness was confirmed at high gravity loads ("g" loads) during turns and zero gravity aircraft manoeuvres. During the flight test, the fuel cells produced around 10 litres of pure water.
