This work investigates the impact of direct hydrogen combustion on the thermodynamic cycle of aero engines. Besides the combustion process, the influence of the heat exchanger, for conditioning of liquid hydrogen, and its position within the gas turbine will be considered and evaluated based on a reference aircraft.
