Focus on the hydrogen combustion engine

The hydrogen combustion engine represents a major innovation for the mobility of tomorrow.

Based on a proven classic 4-stroke architecture, it works like a conventional internal combustion engine connected to a tank, but uses hydrogen as a fuel source instead of gasoline or diesel. The combustion of hydrogen generates only water vapor and a small amount of nitrogen oxide. With zero CO2 emissions, the hydrogen combustion engine is a genuine alternative to traditional engines and represents a key tool in the decarbonization of transportation.

Our expertise in hydrogen combustion

 

  • At Solution F, we have developed an innovative direct hydrogen injection system and have been working for several years on various projects incorporating this technology.
  • Thanks to our latest-generation test benches adapted to the development of hydrogen combustion engine technology, we can contribute to accelerating its deployment.
  • We are thus able to develop our own engines, but also to support our customers in their projects and for all types of applications (motor sports, heavy vehicles, marine vehicles, defense, etc.).

Focus on our engine dedicated to aeronautics

Thanks to its expertise, Solution F designs and integrates clean powertrains and power units for helicopters and aircraft. We develop solutions that take your requirements into account: service life, fuel consumption, maintenance cycle, etc.

SF3T

The SF3T is an engine that perfectly illustrates our commitment to decarbonizing aviation:

  • Compact, lightweight, and powerful, this 3-cylinder turbo engine has been designed to optimize fuel consumption and reduce CO₂ emissions.
  • This cutting-edge technology is intended for drones, microlights, and light aircraft, and can also be used as a range extender or APU.
  • Compatible with low-carbon fuels, it embodies our vision of a cleaner and more sustainable aviation sector, without compromising on performance.
