FCH-150 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Commercial Aircraft - IO Aircraft - Iteration 2

FCH-150 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Commercial Aircraft - IO Aircraft - Iteration 2

www.ioaircraft.com
Iteration 2, Some refinements. Similar size as a 737 Max 10 apx 1/2 the operating costs - Wings and Canard fold to 100' Span, Fuselage Length 150', Configuration (Current) 184 Econ and 1st class, 5,000+ NM Range, Does not use liquid hydrogen. Uses 8,000 PSI Compressed H2 or CNG for 95% fuel weight reduction. Airframe, 3D Printed Graphene (technology already developed), kevlar and carbon fiber. Almost no metal used in the airframe 50%+ airframe weight reduction & 10+ X the strength.

I focus on Hypersonics and vtol, not this one. This applied many of those technologies to create the foundation of a true zero carbon commercial aircraft.

LengthL 150ft | Span 120.6ft | Cruise M.88-.92
Cruise: 35,000-38,000ft | Ceiling 41,000-45,000ft
Range: 5,000+ NM
Estimated Empty Weight: 65,000 LBS
Estimated T/O Weight (Full Fuel and Passengers/Baggage) 134,000 LBS
Estimated MTOW: 195,000
Fuel: 30,000 Gallons 8,000+ Max PSI Compressed Hydrogen or Natural Gas Using High Pressure Conforming Tank Technology, 500,000PSIA Integrity
Fuel Weight: Apx 9,000 LBS (Compared to 180,300 LBS if Liquid Fueled)
Current Passenger Configuration: 184 / 12 1st Class & 172 Main Cabin
Operating Costs: $2,500 - $3,500 hr
Estimated Maintenance Costs, Apx 1/2 Compared to 737's, A320's, etc
Estimated Unit Price in Production: Apx $105 Million

Reduction in Operating/Maintenance Costs Over the Life Cycle of the Aircraft, $20-$50 Million or greater.

Motors, zero maintenance required for greater then 5,000 operating hours.
-----------------------------------
100% viable Electric Commercial aircraft, in a 737 MAX class. Compressed Hydrogen Fueled (Not liquid [obsolete]), 100% electric. NO carbon foot print. Even the hydrogen can be generated on the ground via water electrolysis on top of terminals. Also saving operators $20-$50 million or more, over an aircraft's life cycle.

Non, zero carbon, could use CNG, then reformation to extract the Hydrogen.

Ready to build today, all tech is already developed. Makes ALL commercial aircraft in existence obsolete. PLUS all hybrid aicraft on the drawing board right now with Boeing, Airbus, etc.

Airframe is 3D printed Graphene wafering, 33X stronger then titatnium; and carbon fiber/kevlar.
