The preliminary design of the on-board hydrogen storage system is performed through a sizing model. The geometrical, mechanical, and thermal properties are analyzed for both compressed, cryo-compressed, and liquid hydrogen tanks. Then, the model is applied to two case studies, representatives of two aircraft categories, to evaluate the technical feasibility of the hydrogen-powered aircraft.
