Successful vibration and shock tests on Project FRESSON – Reaction Engines’ collaboration with Cranfield Aerospace Solutions – brings zero carbon flight a step closer.
Reaction Engines and Cranfield Aerospace Solutions (CAeS) have reached an important milestone in their collaboration on Project FRESSON. Successful vibration and shock tests have shown that our radiator meets the requirements to operate safely – paving the way for further ground and flight testing.
Project FRESSON addresses a critical obstacle in the journey toward hydrogen-electric flight: thermal management. It marks a significant stride in advancing the feasibility of hydrogen-electric propulsion in aviation.
“This period of testing is the culmination of a lot of work for the project team in the design and manufacture of the unit. Getting the hardware tested and showing it meets the customer requirements is a big step forward for the project.”
