exFan @ BIEMH 2024

The Basque Government has extended an invitation to CIDETEC to showcase the exFan project during a poster session at the BIEMH 2024 event. More information about the event can be found on their official website here.

General Assembly Meeting

exFan recently held its consortium meeting in San Sebastian, Donostia, Spain, on June 5-6, 2024, hosted at CIDETEC Surface Engineering. This General Assembly Meeting (M06) was a key event focused on evaluating the progress of the exFan project, which aims to develop a novel recuperation system to maximize exergy from anergy for hydrogen-powered, fuel cell-based electric aircraft propulsion systems.

exFan @ ILA Berlin 2024

exFan will be at ILA Berlin International Airshow on June 6th for an insightful session as part of Climate Friendly Aviation Technologies (ClimAvTech) cluster where 13 research and innovation projects funded by the European Union via CINEA, the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency aim to advance sustainable aviation.

First Technical Advisory Board (TAB) Meeting

A meeting of the Technical Advisory Board (TAB) made up of major aviation stakeholders of the research project exFan was organized to facilitate the exchange of information, the definition of the stakeholders needs and expectations and to foster synergy between the research project and the industry stakeholders. The meeting was structured as a workshop, in which both industry stakeholders and exFan representatives documented and discussed their expectations for future fuel cell electric aircraft, propulsion systems and heat exchangers.

exFan kicked-off!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a groundbreaking initiative, exFan Project, aimed at propelling aviation into a more sustainable and climate-neutral future. Our mission is to develop a cutting-edge recuperation device, known as the Heat Propulsor, harnessing the Meredith effect to maximize exergy from anergy for future#propulsion systems.
