Abstract: Altex and Pennsylvania State University (PSU) have teamed up to develop the highly integrated and highly efficient JP-5 driven Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Logistic Fuel Power System (UAVLFP). UAVLFP will build upon previous work that has shown the feasibility of conversion JP-5 to power and incorporates innovations to design and develop a flight worthy power system. Under the program the UAVLFP will be designed and validated by testing and analysis. The Phase I work will be the basis of Phase II under which a prototype UAVLFP will be developed and delivered to the Navy for high fidelity laboratory testing.
Benefits: UAVLFP is scale-able and can be applied to several military and commercial applications. These applications include, military and commercial marine applications, military and commercial transportation, power generations, remote stations, and distributed power generations. These are large markets and UAVLFP could ultimately capture near a 0.7 billion dollars market.
