Air
transportation phenomenon is placed with sharing of world energy consumption
between 2.5% and 5% totally and showing an increasing perspective approximately
4.8% per year. With the
increasing world population and the energy consumption, the aviation industry
has led the technology and researches to alternative and/or renewable energy
sources depending on the risk of depletion on kerosene fuels and its effects on
the price increasement and environmental negativeness. Hydrogen
energy, which H2 is the most abundant element in the universe and
most of it exists in the form of water and organic compounds, is considered the
most promising fuel for all vehicles which need to effective energy. The
diversity of availability and the renewability of hydrogen fuel have opened the
way for use in different engineering applications with the creation of an
environmentally friendly. The aerospace and aviation sectors have been the
earlier to recognize the importance of using this fuel. The union of aviation industry
and hydrogen energy has been met with NASA’s works and has become remarkable
position with the developing technology. This paper aim is touched upon the
system of hydrogen usage strategies in aviation as a fuel. For this purpose,
the brief history of using H2 in aviation were presented, then
benefits and challenges were given with explanatory, engineering technology of
usage H2 were analyzed, fuel cell applications and liquid forms of H2
is explained as a focus of fuel and storage necessity were discussed, new
technologies approachment were analyzed and given with comparisons. As a
result, a mini but detailed review perspective on state of art on usage
hydrogen energy in aviation would be emphasized.
