This paper presents the ONERA research effort made to enable hydrogen aircraft, understand the impact of hydrogen on the overall design of aircraft and characterise the performance of a hydrogen fuelled transport aircraft. The study focuses on Small to Medium Range Aircraft and on two aircraft configurations; a traditional Tube and Wing aircraft and a more advanced Blended Wing body concept.
