The goal of the project was to design and build a hydrogen fuel cell powered motorcycle to provide efficiency data as well as increase knowledge and interest in fuel cell based propulsion. Presented are details on the structural components, the fuel cell stack, the metal hydride hydrogen storage tanks, the power electronics drive and the data acquisition system. Waste heat from the fuel cells is used to significantly improve the storage capacity of the metal hydride tanks. Data and analysis of bench and road tests are presented.

The paper presents the current development of the AOS-H2 electric motor-glider project. The project encompasses the design and manufacture of an electric propulsion system (EPS) and a CF/epoxy airframe to be used as a flying test platform for the designed EPS. A 40-kW electric motor is supplied by a 10-kW PEM fuel cell stack and a Li-ion battery during run-up and ascent and by the fuel cell stack alone during steady flight. The airframe and the EPS have been completed; the results of bench tests of the EPS have proved that it meets the established requirements..
