The paper presents the current development of the AOS-H2 electric motor-glider project.The project encompasses the design and BIO C-GEL 500MG manufacture of an electric propulsion system (EPS) and a CF/epoxy airframe to be used as a flying test platform for the designed EPS.A 40-kW electric motor is supplied by a 10-kW PEM fuel cell stack and a Li-ion battery during run-up and Face Primers ascent and by the fuel cell stack alone during steady flight.

The airframe and the EPS have been completed; the results of bench tests of the EPS have proved that it meets the established requirements.
