The chapter discusses historic, current and future opportunities for hydrogen fuel cell–powered aircraft from 2021 time perspective. In particular, the notion of passenger carrying airplanes is elaborated by presenting key challenges, technological enablers as well as the certification framework development. Further, different sizing aspects and hydrogen tank placement on board and their implication on the aircraft as a whole, as researched, are discussed. The current state of the art is presented too, together with indications about passenger airplane sizing evolutions and development intents of actual forefront hydrogen fuel cell–powered aircraft. In the last part challenges related to water vapour deposition as connected to future fuel cell–powered aircraft operation are noted.
