This paper showcases the detailed design of hydrogen storing system for regional aircraft. Starting from TLAR, the hydrogen is sized and then designed in detail considering different solutions both for load bearing and proper liquid containment. A further analysis shows the necessity to account the weight of the system versus its volume/surface ratio as a key parameter for preliminary design of such systems.
