The invention relates to an aircraft (10), comprising a hydrogen consumer (12) and a hydrogen supply device (14) for supplying the hydrogen consumer (12) with hydrogen, the hydrogen supply device (12) having a cryogenic hydrogen tank (16) for storing liquid hydrogen. In order to lower the weight while improving performance of the hydrogen tank (16) during different flight conditions, embodiments of the aircraft further comprise a suspension arrangement (34) with suspension elements (44, 44-1, 44-2) for suspending the hydrogen tank (16) on a structure (36) of the aircraft (10), wherein the hydrogen tank (16) comprises a tank wall (30) made from fibre reinforced composite material, and wherein the suspension arrangement (34) comprises a plurality of first tensile loaded dry fibre suspension elements (44-1) fixed to load introduction areas (46) on the hydrogen tank (16) such that the suspension elements (46) extend essentially tangential to a surface of the hydrogen tank (16) at the associated load introduction area (46).
