All sorts of intelligent people worked on the Microsoft Zune lol
If you want to know why hydrogen wont- work as an aircraft fuel you should Google volumetric energy density

Lol it's almost impossible to store enough hydrogen on a jet plane to fly a long way unless you get rid of the passengers.
This stuff about hydrogen planes is basically green washing

Unfortunately nobody can design a practical hydrogen fuel tank to fit inside an aircraft wing.
Reasons to do with fundamental constraints of engineering and physics.
I mean you could make a tank with insufficient fuel in it or you could make a tank which was extremely heavy, but nobody wants either of those things.
If you want a fly thousands of miles on a jet plane and be green you need to run on biodiesel; This stuff about hydrogen is basically green washing.

You are technically correct..... But given a choice between having some small fuel tanks full of biodiesel or some much larger and heavier fuel tanks full of hydrogen; what do you think will work best?
( I assume you realise that it's much easier to run a jet engine on diesel than it is to run it on hydrogen)
