Reply to comment by Drewy99 in Rolls-Royce successfully tests hydrogen-powered jet engine | Britain's Rolls-Royce said it has successfully run an aircraft engine on hydrogen, a world aviation first that marks a major step towards proving the gas could be key to decarbonising air travel. by yourSAS

Lol I guess I meant whole it was on the runway or something like that. I remember watching a video a while back where people were evacuating a burning plane that hadn't taken off yet, and that's what my brain jumped to when I saw this post.

I just look at it like if the plane is going to crash it probably doesn't matter if it's hydrogen or jet fuel, you're gonna go boom either way.

But you make a good point about a plane that is still on the ground.

You can dump hydrogen pretty quickly and controlled.
