Will Airships Be the First Large Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft?

Neji will give an overview of the specific characteristics of their airship, highlighting the relevance and suitability of hydrogen propulsion for this type of application. The current propulsion architecture of the airship and the scope of its potential substitution by a hydrogen-based system will also be outlined. He will also describe the planned hydrogen propulsion system and the main technical locks identified in this transition, ranging from hydrogen storage and distribution to integration and safety constraints.
