SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPLYING PASSIVELY FILTERED RAM AIR TO A HYDROGEN FUEL CELL OF A UAV

Abstract:

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has an air-cooled fuel cell, an air channel comprising a forward facing opening for receiving ram air and connected to the air-cooled fuel cell, and a passive ram air filtration system (PRAFS) configured to filter particulate matter from ram air received into the air channel via the opening.
