In the aerospace sector, the decarbonization of propulsion systems is increasingly turning toward hydrogen as a viable alternative fuel for thermal engines. While this approach presents several engineering challenges, it offers the potential to match the performance and range of conventional fossil fuel-powered engines In recent years, the aviation industry has significantly accelerated the development of hydrogen-based propulsion technologies, aiming to replace fossil-derived fuels in thermal engines. Although hydrogen is often associated with electrified propulsion through fuel cells, its use as a direct combustion fuel offers a major advantage: the…
