Fabrum’s Triple-Wall Cryogenic LH2 Tank Heading To Flight Test
Fabrum has developed a lightweight composite tank for cryogenic liquid hydrogen that cuts fuel losse and refueling time, with flight tests expected in 2027.
Fabrum has developed a lightweight composite tank designed for cryogenic liquid hydrogen storage, aiming to reduce fuel loss and shorten refueling times. The technology is positioned to support more efficient hydrogen-powered flight operations.
The company’s latest tank concept features a triple-wall design intended to improve insulation and reduce boil-off during storage and handling of LH2. This approach targets improvements in overall propulsion system efficiency.
Flight testing of the technology is planned for 2027, with tests expected to demonstrate performance under realistic aviation operating conditions. No specific test location or aircraft platform is disclosed in the available material.
The announcement highlights potential benefits for the broader adoption of hydrogen as a transport fuel by addressing practical challenges related to storage and refueling. Further details on test objectives or participating partners have not been provided.
