I realize that this very different, but hydrogen is very negatively associated with aviation.
- kozak 6y agoLet's say "it already has a track record in aviation" instead.
- jandrese 6y agoDon't worry, nothing could ever go wrong with pressure vessels filled with heavily compressed explosive gas, especially in an accident.
- ggm 6y agoOf all the explosive gases, hydrogen is not the worst. It floats, and it's combustion products tend to be less toxic. I really don't think rocketry experiences inform commercial aviation choices. Has the hydrogen storage associated with spaceflight been responsible for significant explosions. Flight vessels are made as thin walled as possible for a reason. Land bound containers don't have the same weight penalty.
- ncmncm 6y agoThus, don't compress it.
