Project overview
The client needed additional headcount to develop a new disruptive technology powertrain with a hydrogen-electric engine, designed to support small passenger aircraft. LRW were selected because of the team’s specialist powertrain and hydrogen fuel cell expertise.
LRW Engineering Associates services
LRW provided 2 full time equivalent (FTE) Senior Engineers to support the client’s engineering team for 3 months working on the hydrogen-electric powertrain project.
Key areas of focus for the project included:
- Fuel cell control system design and development support
- Fuel cell diagnostic system strategy consultation and software design
‘We were delighted to support this exciting new energy project. Our specialist knowledge means that we could make a real impact for the client fast and I’m pleased to say that the project has been extended so we can continue to support the client’s engineering team with debugging controls and testing. Our ethos is to work as a true extension of the in-house team and the project feedback has been extremely positive.’
Richard Threlfall, LRW Engineering Associates Director - New Energy & Integration
Outcome
By using LRW’s experience, the client has been able to progress the control system development and diagnostics more quickly – without the need for hiring additional permanent staff. It has also enabled the client project team to remain on track to meet the certification timeline.
