Official Description

Hydrogen fuel-cell-powered air systems are becoming more prevalent in aviation [Refs 1-4]. Although compressed gaseous hydrogen has traditionally been employed to power these systems, cryogenic liquid hydrogen has recently started gaining traction [Refs 5-8]. Overall, liquid hydrogen storage provides added benefits such as reduced weight and volume compared to gaseous hydrogen storage, but there are still challenges to air vehicle integration and long-term use due to the extreme low temperature ...
