Comparative Analysis of Crash Fire Hazards of Liquid Hydrogen and Conventional Fuels
Advances in Urban Air Mobility pose new risks in the airspace due to the introduction of new technologies. Decarbonization calls for fossil fuel replacement and the need for extended range favors liquid hydrogen over electric batteries. To obtain FAA certification, manufacturers must demonstrate that the risk to passengers and the public from a new fuel is no worse than that from traditional fuels.
