In the present paper we investigate year 2050 low-risk tube and wing aircraft with LH2 tanks mountedrnabove the fuselage. The paper aims at providing a reasonable estimate of the upper efficiency levels setrnby low-weight rigid cell foam insulated tank technology when integrated in a conventionally shapedrnairframes.
