Where
the big jets land. Spokane for sure. It was pretty smokey at takeoff
in the 80’s.
Welcome to the Yielder Plant at Fairchild AFB down the road about 15
miles.
Ammonia makes a breakthrough….Coors Tek is involved all around the
world Green NH3 on the way.

Elna can tell you all about it, Her husband John was the Wing
Commander….The KC-135 and the BUFF, B-52H with cruise missiles under
their wings, Nuclear tipped…We were shipping Yielder drills….and every
afternoon about 500 feet to 750 feet above us was the incoming
approach to Fairchild…..Right over the top of us….We Saluted every
chance we got…… right over the top of the Yielder Plant in 1983 to
1986 at 4:00 PM every afternoon …in they came, 3 BUFF or B-52 H and
three Gas Tanks In the Sky, KC-135…. like clockwork….and if they
didn’t come in on time……something was up.

H2 selects liquid ammonia as carbon-free fuel of choice
28 April 2022
Following a
three-month feasibility study, Aviation H2—an Australian-owned company
seeking to achieve net-zero emissions in the aerospace sector through
green hydrogen—has selected the
use of liquid ammonia to turbofan combustion as the best route to
carbon-free flight and will soon start modifying turbofan engines to
test and prove the concept.
The company,
which is launching a $500,000 capital raise via the online platform
VCEX to fund the construction of its first modification prototype,
says the results from their studies were very positive. Their research
shows that converting a Falcon 50 to Liquid Ammonia Turbofan
Combustion is the most efficient and commercially viable avenue to
building a hydrogen-powered plane.

The company’s
team of engineers say they now have a clear pathway to having
Australia’s first hydrogen-fuelled aircraft in the skies by the middle
of 2023.
By
implementing this power path, Aviation H2 can fly aircraft with
hydrogen fuel using significantly less weight than alternative power
paths while generating the same amount of power.
There are
multiple reasons why liquid ammonia was selected. Chiefly its
advantages include high gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen density
that makes it lighter and easier to transport while providing a
greater energy conversion rate. In fact, the stored weight of liquid
ammonia energy is substantially lighter than gaseous hydrogen and can
be kept at a much lower tank pressure.

Director, Dr Helmut Mayer
Dr Mayer says
this is supported by anhydrous ammonia reaching liquification point
quicker, which makes it a lot simpler to store when compared to liquid
or gasified hydrogen. Additionally, worldwide transportation and
handling of liquid ammonia has been around for many years, making
ammonia as a carbon-free fuel even more appealing.
The company has
selected the Dassault Falcon 50 business jet—a long-ranged
international business charter jet aircraft—for the flight test.
The jet has
three engines, of which only two are required for flight, allowing the
third engine to be used to test a smaller engine modified to use
liquid ammonia before moving on to modify the main engines.

Falcon 50s also
have a larger weight capacity, reducing the risk posed by weight
challenges. The costs for the test program are no larger than when
using a smaller and newer type of jet.
They are also
relatively common in Australia, meaning there is a time-saving in
getting the aircraft ready for testing.

The company
believes making use of current technologies and infrastructure will be
important to future customers because it allows them to modify the
aircraft they have already invested in, rather than buy a whole new
fleet.
Once the test
flight is successful in the middle of 2023, Aviation H2 will have a
patentable method for modifying aircraft so they operate on
carbon-free fuel. They will quickly seek to certify and commercialise
this product via a planned public listing on a major exchange in Q4 of
2023.
