An aircraft including a fuselage, a power generator configured to provide power to the aircraft, and at least one fuel tank for holding fuel for the power generator, and a fuel delivery assembly. The fuel tank is positioned in the fuselage and is configured to hold hydrogen fuel in a liquid phase. The fuel tank has a chamber for holding the hydrogen fuel and a fuel extraction line fluidly coupled to the chamber. The fuel extraction line extends from the fuel tank in a forward direction of the fuselage and at a downward angle relative to a centerline of the fuselage. The fuel delivery assembly is fluidly coupled to the fuel extraction line and fluidly connects the fuel tank to the power generator. The fuel delivery assembly is configured to provide the hydrogen fuel from the fuel tank to the power generator.
