The open-source conceptual aircraft design tool SUAVE has been extended with methods for designing and simulating regional hydrogen fuel cell aircraft. This includes sizing methods for the airframe, LH2 storage and fuel cell stacks. Dynamic models for H2 boil-off and fuel cell power draw are integrated in the mission solver. This tool enables operators to understand future hydrogen flight.rn
