Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. (Nasdaq: QTWW) has been awarded a follow-on contract by Lockheed Martin to supply hydrogen and oxygen fuel storage tanks for a regenerative power supply system to be used in a stratospheric airship application.
This award is due to the successful performance in a previous award from Lockheed Martin. Using its expertise in ultra-lightweight all-composite gaseous fuel storage, Quantum developed unique compressed gas storage systems for oxygen and hydrogen with higher system weight efficiency than has been demonstrated in the past. The storage systems have been designed and tested to withstand an extreme range of conditions from sea level to high altitude.
