"Leading Australian long-range eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing)
aircraft developer AMSL Aero has partnered with Conflux Technology to use its
cooling technology to enable long-range hydrogen-fuelled flights of 1,000
kilometres at speeds of up to 300km/h.
AMSL Aero, which was founded in 2017 and is headquartered at Bankstown
Aerodrome in New South Wales, made the announcement this week ahead of the
Avalon Air Show in Melbourne.
AMSL will use Conflux Technology’s advanced heat transfer innovation to cool
the hydrogen fuel cells that power its eVTOL aircraft, Vertiia, during vertical
take-off, landing, and hover operations.
Conflux, which was itself founded in 2015 by former F1 engineer Michael Fuller
and is headquartered in Waurn Ponds, Victoria, is a world leading heat exchange
technology company and has supplied technology across a wide array of
industries including aerospace, defence, automotive, and motorsports.
Specialising in producing next generation heat exchangers that help to
efficiently transfer thermal energy from one fluid to another, Conflux has
already been hard at work developing three heat exchanger concepts that were
aimed at minimising weight and volume while effectively managing continuous
heat loads during flight.
Following the success of these initial innovations, Conflux will now optimise
and manufacture a full proof-of-concept assembly to integrate into Vertiia’s
hydrogen fuel cell system."
