In this paper, a dual-fuel (SAF and liquid hydrogen) short-to-medium-range aircraft is designed and evaluated against a SAF only baseline aircraft. The study setup and methodology are explained, including the design heuristics for the dual-fuel aircraft. Although the dual-fuel aircraft consumes more energy than the baseline aircraft, it can be advantageous in terms of energy cost.
