2 Design - Build - Test May 2012 $20k 1 st LH2 UAV 2

3 Over $275k invested by JCATI & Insitu inner insulation inner duct outer insulation outer duct pressure load distribution pins Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those doing it Students: real world design experience 30% reduction in lifecycle cost 4x increase in reliability 4 Enhance reputation as industry leader Washington State leading aerospace innovator

4 World s 1 st 3D Printed Cryogenic Fuel Tank 5

5 License IP through WSU Successful development partnership with Insitu Incorporating design changes for next prototype flight testing 2017 Commercialization of tank through Protium to first customer Insitu 6

6 H 2 -Flo: The key to Hydrogen System Integration

7 8 DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGN FOR A DROP-IN HYDROGEN FUELING STATION TO SUPPORT THE EARLY MARKET BUILD-OUT OF HYDROGEN INFRASTRUCTURE Key Rules and Guidelines: Low cost current H 2 stations are $2-4 million each Hydrogen delivered for $7/kg Fuel 2 vehicles simultaneously, 25 vehicles per day 5 minute fill time for 700 bar, 5 kg fuel tank Transportable Low maintenance Operated and monitored remotely Hydrogen storage should withstand 48 hr shutdown
