Power Generation for Long Duration Hypersonic Platforms

ABSTRACT: Acumentrics, Wright State, and GoHypersonic are partnering to deliver a robust solution to the need for power generation for long duration hypersonic platforms. This solution considers not only the direct generation of power using a highly efficiency fuel cell package, but overall vehicle requirements. This work utilizes existing commercial technology in developing this unique solution. Specific powers up to 550W/kg and power densities of about 500W/L are projected.; BENEFIT: This system is highly aligned with the commercial products currently offered by Acumentrics, and represents an additional stage of offering for military and civilian remote power. Such high power density and efficiency will provide utility in remote applications where power is at a premium.
