This work investigates the integration of compact heat exchangers for intercooling of a hydrogen-fuelled midsized commercial aviation engine. Preliminary results from an ongoing aerodynamic optimisation indicate that common penalties of intercooling, such as weight and ducting issues, can largely be avoided when utilising hydrogen as a heat sink.
