A plan for active development of LH2 for use in aircraft

This statement reviews the probable future fuel problem facing the commercial air transport industry and suggests an innovative course of action. The plan involves creation of an experimental airline equipped with four liquid hydrogen-fueled, wide-body aircraft flying commercial cargo on a regularly scheduled basis between the United States, Western Europe and the Middle East. Development of facilities incorporating advanced technologies for production and liquefaction of hydrogen at each of four major air terminals is an integral part of the plan.
