I'd make sure that I was getting the
max flow rate for takeoff if I were to use one in an aircraft.


That should not be a problem, considering the run NASCAR engines with it,
putting out 750+ HP, at constant wide open throttle, for lap after lap, at
some tracks. Our biggest engines putting out around 300 HP would not drawn
nearly as much.

It IS a problem. It's a problem for NASCAR, they just engineer around
it. As I said, make sure you are designing your fuel cell for the
max flow rate (typically takeoff) and not for the cruise power
settings.
