Maximum safety for hydrogen drives - with high-precision sensor technology and innovative burners.

Hydrogen technology soars

The aerospace industry is increasingly relying on hydrogen as a clean source of propulsion to drastically reduce emissions. Hydrogen is used directly as an energy source or as the basis for “”Sustainable Aviation Fuel”” (SAF). However, extreme operating conditions and the highest safety requirements make its use particularly challenging.

Our hydrogen sensors ensure continuous monitoring of the fuel supply and detect the smallest leaks, while our combustion engines enable efficient energy generation – for the next generation of emission-free aircraft and rocket engines.
