HyFlux, a UK-based cleantech company pioneering superconducting motors and cryogenic cooling systems to power the next era of zero-emission aviation and maritime propulsion, reports it has secured a UKP1.5 million non-dilutive grant from the UK Government’s Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI)—to develop its next-generation 3–5 MW hydrogen-electric motor architecture.
“As hydrogen becomes the fuel of the future for both aviation and shipping, propulsion systems must become dramatically lighter and more efficient. HyFlux’s motor uses superconducting materials cooled by liquid hydrogen’s own cryogenic properties, delivering unmatched power-to-weight ratios that unlock larger, longer-range aircraft,” said the company in a press release. “This ATI grant allows us to accelerate development without giving up equity, validating our approach while preserving long-term value for investors and strategic partners.”
“HyFlux’s technology is designed for civil and defence applications, aligning with the UK’s industrial strategy and Net Zero commitments:
- Single Aisle aircraft powered by hydrogen fuel cells – and lightweight motors
- Electrified UAVs and military platforms
- Portside, ferry vessels and short-haul maritime electrification”
