Re: Signal priority in NYC

* What about hydrogen instead of diesel fuel?

Diesel fuel has an energy density of 38.6 MJ/L whereas liquid H2 has an energy density of 8.5 MJ/L. OK, that sounds impossibly low.

However, it has a specific energy of 45.6 MJ/kg, while liquid H2 has a specific energy of 120 MJ/kg.

So H2 fuel needs almost 5 times the volume but only a bit more than a third of the weight. It strikes me that you could build a fuselage that can carry all that volume efficiently.
