A hydrogen-fuelled aircraft 100 comprises a fuselage 118, wings 116A, 116B and a plurality of cylindrical elongate hydrogen storage tanks 112 mounted on the exterior of the fuselage and extending generally parallel thereto. The tanks extend azimuthally and contiguously around the fuselage. An aerodynamic fairing 114 forms a continuous air-washed surface of the aircraft. The hydrogen storage tanks are contained between the fairing and the fuselage. The aircraft provides for storage of a large volume of compressed hydrogen without compromising the volume of usable space within the fuselage. The aircraft is able to carry out flight missions comparable in range and payload to those of an equivalent conventionally-fuelled aircraft.
