The aim of this paper is to introduce a concept for a ‘scalable’ hydrogen propulsion system for future civil transport aircraft. This system could potentially aide in managing some of the risk associated with the major uncertainty involved in hydrogen technology development for aviation. This paper covers the conceptual design of the aircraft as well as selected transient system analyses.
