Students of Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt's master programs "Hydrogen Technologies and Economics" and “Aeronautical Engineering” visited both Linde & AIRBUS on May 24th. The visit at Linde, as part of the subject “Plant and Equipment Design in Hydrogen Technology”, was accompanied by Manfred Schönberger and Prof. Dr. Ertan Akgün. The students had the chance to learn different aspects of tank design for hydrogen applications.
Visiting the hydrogen liquefaction plant, hydrogen equipment manufacturing lines, such as heat exchangers, and the hydrogen pumps were further interesting parts at Linde.
As part of the subject “Safety Conception in Hydrogen Applications”, accompanied by Daniel Hielscher and Prof- Dr.-Ing. Ertan Akgün, the students delved into the pragmatic but also highly sophisticated aspects of hydrogen safety.
“It was a great pleasure for us to give the students of the Ingolstadt Technical University an insight into the E-Aircraft System House (EAS) of AIRBUS in Ottobrunn.” The AIRBUS facility is the largest test house for alternative propulsion systems and fuels in aviation in Europe, and it is where the main components of the propulsion system that will power the demonstrator’s propellers are tested.
Very interesting in this context are the two projects AIRBUS IronPod (https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/stories/2024-01-first-zeroe-engine-fuel-cell-successfully-powers-on) and ASCEND respectively CryoProp (https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2024-05-airbus-takes-superconductivity-research-for-hydrogen-powered) in which Stefan Stückl and Ralf Keuter from AIRBUS led us with two extremely competent and captivating presentations.
AIRBUS is committed to prepare the next generation for careers in the hydrogen industry, and would like to give this particularly against the background of cutting edge of tomorrow's aviation propulsion programs.
Our Master's programme in Hydrogen Technology and Economics at THI is just the thing for a successful career start in the field of hydrogen. After three semesters, you will be able to understand the technology chain of hydrogen as an energy carrier, its transport and associated applications, develop new products and solutions and evaluate them in terms of economic efficiency and sustainability.
