An aircraft including a fuselage, a wing structure, at least one turbomachine running on hydrogen and generating thrust at a propulsion unit distant from the fuselage, at least one fuel tank positioned in the fuselage and configured to store hydrogen in the cryogenic state, at least one hydrogen supply device connecting the fuel tank and the turbomachine and including at least one pump positioned in the fuselage in the vicinity of the fuel tank, at least one hydrogen heating system positioned in the fuselage in the vicinity of the pump. This solution makes it possible to reduce a length of the complex double-walled pipes configured for carrying the hydrogen in the cryogenic state between the fuel tank and the hydrogen heating system.
