AI Technical Summary
The challenge lies in storing propellant gases like hydrogen, methane, ethane, ethylene, acetylene, or oxygen on aircraft while ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance with aeronautical maintenance standards, without the need for new standards or extensive maintenance know-how.
The development of an aeronautical cryogenic tank device with a spherical or elongated shape, featuring an inner container for liquefied gas storage, an outer casing made of durable materials, and a reduced pressure insulation chamber with a helium seal. This design allows for efficient thermal management, mechanical stability, and easy maintenance, while minimizing leakage risks.
The cryogenic tank device effectively meets the thermal and mechanical requirements of aeronautical practices, providing a high useful volume-to-external volume ratio, high gas mass-to-total mass ratio, and ensuring high reliability and safety for gas storage on aircraft.
