Novel, low-cost, CFRP pressure vessel design for hydrogen fuel cell applications
… 835 m. This feat was primarily attributed to the design of the Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) pressure vessel portion of the rocket. The pressure vessel was composed on a long, thin-walled commercial CFRP cylindrical tube that had two Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) end caps bonded onto either …
