This paper illustrates two methodologies that assess the feasibility, cost and performance of a future commercial aviation system based on hydrogen as energy source. The first concerns the preliminary sizing of a hydrogen-powered aircraft based on mission and certification requirements. The second performs the optimization of the preliminary sizing of airport hydrogen refueling infrastructure.
