It's not the same thing.

Well, duh.. My post was tongue in cheek.

At atmospheric pressure, hydrogen exists as a gas. It only liquefies at -423.17 °F.


Heavily fortified (and heavy weight) thermally insulated compression tanks are required for storage of liquid hydrogen at ambient temperatures. That's problem number one (Increased weight) for aircraft fuel.


Problem number two is that liquid hydrogen is much less energy dense by volume than fossil fuels. It might work for short hop, puddle jumper planes, but simple laws of physics make it completely impractical for long haul international jets.


Like battery powered planes, they're just another greenie dream..
