About the Project

OVERLEAF develops a game changer Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) storage tank to enable the transition towards H2-powered aviation. 

Based on a disruptive design (under patent process) and leveraging innovative materials and technologies, the OVERLEAF solution will boast a GI higher than 60% for 500kg of LH2, with no venting over 24h. Furthermore, the concept is an enabler for using the aircraft’s fuselage as the outer tank, allowing to seamlessly integrate the tank in the aircrafts structure.
