Hydrogen-powered aircraft operations will be constrained by the lack of H2 refueling infrastructures across airports. Tankering could enable flights to fields that have no H2 infrastrucutre. The proposed methodology assessed the impact on extra fuel consumption, costs and network coverage, considering aircraft performance and H2 distribution, to eventually modify the aircraft design range.
