Liquid Hydrogen Fueled Passenger Aircraft,
Abstract
This Chinese translation discusses the idea that passenger aircraft will eventually use liquid hydrogen fuel. There is a large reserve of hydrogen and hydrogen poses no danger to the environment. Hydrogen has high calorific value, high specific heat, low density and low temperature. Aircraft will have to have liquid fuel tank to carry the hydrogen and will have to be partially redesigned. Lockheed and NASA have considered such designs. A problem remains in the planning--the high cost of large extraction of liquid hydrogen (China, Chinese language, Translators).
