Liquid Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft are aircraft that use liquid hydrogen as the primary fuel, with propulsion systems such as hydrogen combustion engines or hydrogen fuel cells that convert the chemical energy of liquid hydrogen into thrust or electrical power for flight. These aircraft can significantly reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gas impact, representing a key technology direction for low-carbon and green aviation. Systems typically include liquid hydrogen storage and supply, propulsion, combustion or electric propulsion, control systems, and safety management subsystems. They can be applied in passenger transport, cargo, research demonstration, and test flights.
Liquid hydrogen-powered aircraft are expected to evolve toward higher energy efficiency, longer range, and integrated systems. Improvements in liquid hydrogen storage, refueling technologies, and cryogenic fuel tank materials will enhance flight safety and hydrogen density. Hybrid propulsion combining hydrogen combustion engines and fuel cells is expected to achieve higher energy utilization and lower emissions. Digital flight control systems, intelligent management, and predictive maintenance will improve operational reliability and efficiency. Driven by global aviation decarbonization policies and low-carbon aviation strategies, liquid hydrogen-powered aircraft will gradually be deployed in regional, short-haul, and long-range commercial aviation, promoting the development of the green aviation industry chain and commercialization of low-carbon technologies.

A hydrogen-powered aircraft is an aeroplane that uses hydrogen fuel as a power source. Hydrogen can either be burned in a jet engine or another kind of internal combustion engine, or can be used to power a fuel cell to generate electricity to power a propeller. Unlike most aircraft, which store fuel in the wings, hydrogen-powered aircraft are usually designed with the hydrogen fuel tanks inside the fuselage.Liquid hydrogen is one of the best coolants used in engineering, and precooled jet engines have been proposed to use this property for cooling the intake air of hypersonic aircraft, or even for cooling the aircraft's skin itself, particularly for scramjet-powered aircraft.
