UK's New 250-Seat Plane Is Shaking The Entire Aviation Industry
Britain's FlyZero project has designed a 279-passenger hydrogen-powered airliner capable of flying nonstop from London to San Francisco with zero carbon dioxide emissions from its engines. This video breaks down how this widebody jet solves the two biggest problems that have blocked hydrogen flight for decades: storing liquid hydrogen at minus 253 degrees Celsius in a massive tail tank, and balancing the aircraft using clever "cheek tanks" near the cockpit as fuel burns off during flight. We explore Rolls-Royce and easyJet's real-world hydrogen combustion engine tests, why this midsize long-range design could work by targeting major hub airports first instead of waiting for global hydrogen infrastructure, and how Britain's approach compares to America's blended-wing-body aircraft and Airbus's slower-moving ZEROe hydrogen program. You'll learn why FlyZero's roadmap points toward zero-carbon passenger flights entering service around 2035, and what still stands between this detailed blueprint and a working aircraft. This is the story of the UK's boldest bet on the future of long-haul aviation. Could hydrogen finally end the kerosene era of flight?

Lots of other irrelevant pix too.
And the Earth bound water hydrogen fuel tank is enormous, 71% of the planet's surface is covered in water. One bloody big fuel tank.
Each single water molecule has the total of 3 atoms—2 HYDROGEN atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
So 71% of the planet's surface is our potential fuel tank.
And what commercial company stop you using seawater to convert into fuel . You don’t have to be the ‘BRAIN OF BRITAIN’ to do the mathematics on fuel availability.
A cheap quick way to perform ‘WATER ELECTROLYSIS’ whilst flying is the next big hurdle.
But you can guarantee someone somewhere is already working on that problem.
And we replace it with the "gas" that causes warming, Water Vapour. Water vapour and clouds help cause warming.
So we need to check out the science and not the BS.
