Abstract
This paper describes the characteristics of hydrogen generation from solid-state $NaBH_4$ and fuel cell operation for fuel cell aircraft. The solid-state $NaBH_4$ was used for a high hydrogen storage density, and was reacted with hydrochloric acid to generate hydrogen. The hydrogen generation rate for the solid-state $NaBH_4$ reaction was measured at various conditions. As a result, the hydrogen generation rate was increased with the feed rate and concentration of hydrochloric acid, while not be affected by the reaction temperature. A fuel cell was connected with the solid-state $NaBH_4$ hydrogen generator. The stable power output was obtained at the gradual and sudden increases of electric loads.
