From certification and safety viewpoints, a LH2 powered aircraft must ensure that LH2 is well separated from the passengers. This has led to a novel twin-fuselage “Gondola” airliner with some asymmetry. We describe continuing development, focusing on the main features including stability and control in symmetric and asymmetric flight.
