The dream of one day being able to use hydrogen-powered aircraft over long distances faces a number of technical challenges. Among them, the space and weight required to accommodate this type of fuel. Work on cryo-compressed hydrogen could go some way to solving this complex issue.

The Anglo-American company ZeroAvia, a pioneer in the development of hydrogen-powered electric aircraft, has signed a partnership with Verne, a specialist in cryo-compressed hydrogen. The aim is to one day be able to fly an aircraft over long distances with this type of fuel on board.
