This is a very old article, but one of the best I could
find. Airbus has found that liquid hydrogen-fueled
aircraft get up to 20 percent higher payload capacity
compared to conventional kerosene-fueled aircraft. Airbus
is expected to start production of these
"Cryoplanes" in 10-12 years. But perhaps slush
hydrogen is an even better fuel?
