BeHyPSy Project Develops Lightweight Air-Cooled Fuel Cell System for UAVs and Light Aircraft
The BeHyPSy project, led by the Centre for Fuel Cell Technology (ZBT), focuses on creating a lightweight, air-cooled fuel cell system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and light aircraft weighing between 25 and 2,000 kg. Graebener manufactures titanium bipolar plates for this system. The project aims to enhance reliability and reduce weight while adapting to air management challenges. The system will include a multi-phase electric motor powered by a multi-stack fuel cell, and Graebener also provides engineering services to ensure series production feasibility.

The BeHyPSy project, coordinated by the Centre for Fuel Cell Technology (ZBT), is developing an air-cooled fuel cell system for UAVs and light aircraft with take-off weights between 25 and 2,000 kg. Graebener is a subcontractor, responsible for manufacturing bipolar plates from titanium foil for the air-cooled fuel cell stacks.
This system aims to reduce weight compared to traditional liquid cooling methods, addressing the increased requirements for air management. The design includes a multi-phase electric motor powered by a multi-stack fuel cell to enhance reliability. Graebener also analyzes design feasibility and production processes, leveraging its 20 years of experience in manufacturing metallic bipolar plates.
