  1. UPSCALING LIGHTER-THAN-AIR TECHNOLOGY CO-OPERATION PLATFORM (U-LTA) FRANK NEUMANN INSTITUTE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE ENVIRONMENT AND INNOVATION

  2. Renaissance LTA aviation since 2016 New platforms: better materials, unmanned, artificial intelligence, monitoring, telecom, surveillance. -

  3. COMMON CHALLENGES I: Financing upscaling. • Ground infrastructure, so far no established • O & M infra.

  4. COMMON CHALLENGES II: Certification and safety • H2 Use in the air (Fuel Cells, Liftgas in some cases) Personnel & LTA dedicated staff • for upscaling processes

  5. . Platform contributors (since 2019)

  6. NEXT STEPS:  ‘ Opportunities and challenges’ paper (October 2020).  Exploring integration in EU Financing Programmes and investigate establishment of a dedicated investment platform.

  7. NEXT STEPS: ‘ •  European agencies and European Parliament online meeting and start U-LTA working group on H2 use by LTA carriers on the ground and in air.  First upcoming physical meeting : Ground operations aspects and hydrogen aspects- 23-26 November 2020 Berlin (in addition to ‘the future aviation event’).

  11. DESIGN PRODUCTION & OPERATION Sale of LCA60T s Sale of LCA60T s +maintenance +maintenance Sale of operator know-how &training NATIONAL OP E RA TORS Or Joint-venture (Eligible for regional exclusiveness) Sale of services Sale of services - per day or peroperation - - per day or peroperation - - recurrent orexceptional - - recurrent orexceptional - END USERS END USERS EUSEW 25 th June 2020

  12. LCA60T : A BREAKTHROUGH AND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION Rigid structure Dimensions For safety 10 Helium cells 150m (L) x 50m (Diam) This inert gas will ensure lift Flexible solution Point-to-point transportation 8 propulsion points Cruise – 100 km/h Vertical Take-Off and Landing In-Flight Load Exchange Operational base Green electricity solutions Large cargo bay 80m (L) x 8m (W) x 5m (H) 60 tonnes payload For various applications EUSEW 25 th June 2020

  13. FLYING WHALES PLAN FOR 0 EMISSION Step 1: H 2 fuel cell technology is not available for MWs yet => Step 1 = hybrid propulsion Buffer Mechanical Power Electrical Power Electrical Power Fuel System Thrusters generator generator distribution Step 2: H 2 fuel cell technology is available for MWs & electrification is already on board => 0 emission Buffer Electrical Power Fuel Cell H2 tank Thrusters distribution EUSEW 25 th June 2020

  14. LCA60T: A SAFE AND GREEN SOLUTION LOW ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT LOW COST • • Low operating costs Low carbon emissions • • No impact on existing infrastructures No fuel used for lift • No need for extra transportation infrastructure • Point to point • Helium used as lifting gas • Loading / unloading on hover flight • EASA certified • Up to 60 tons payload, in cargo hold or • Secured ground management under-slings FLEXIBLE SAFE EUSEW 25 th June 2020
