Airbus recently announced a breakthrough concept to sidestep a lot of the challenges associated with hydrogen-powered flight. The company's new idea is to place fully independent hydrogen fuel systems into pods that can easily be clicked on and off the wings of a turboprop airplane.
RUNDOWN SHOWS:
1. Show new hydrogen's plane's clean water vapor versus current planes' dirty emissions
2. Show fuel tanks in wings and fuselage of current turboprop planes
3. Morph from current to future plane: all tanks now in large engine pods under wings, more space in fuselage
4. Show another safety advantage: one pod starts burning, pilot easily ejects it from wing
5. X ray image of pod (side view) showing all parts: hydrogen tank, cooling, motor, etc
6. Show ground crew quickly attaching new pod on to wing hardpoint.

Airbus recently announced a breakthrough concept to sidestep a lot of the challenges associated with hydrogen-powered flight.
The company's new idea is to place fully independent hydrogen fuel systems into pods that can easily be clicked on and off the wings of a turboprop airplane.
These pods would contain their own fuel and engine systems, allowing Airbus to remove all fuel tanks from the plane's fuselage, thereby adding a lot more space for cargo and passenger seats.
The pods would also add a safety element, as it would move the flammable hydrogen fuel from the fuselage to the wing, where a pod can easily be jettisoned in the unlikely event of a fire.
The plan is to attach three pods on each wing. Each pod would contain a liquid hydrogen tank — with its own cooling system — a fuel cell, power electronics, and electric motors that will spin an eight-bladed lightweight propeller.
On the ground, each pod can simply be replaced with a fueled and serviced pod, which removes the need to refuel the plane with the complex systems needed to keep the hydrogen at very cold temperatures.
