Abstract
Method and system for managing hydrogen fuel in hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft is disclosed. The method identifies unused hydrogen fuel in a fuel tank of the aircraft. Determines an amount of the unused hydrogen fuel in the fuel tank of the aircraft. Transfers the amount of the unused hydrogen fuel from the fuel tank of the aircraft into a hydrogen fuel cell of the aircraft and converts the amount of the unused hydrogen fuel into electricity via the hydrogen fuel cell of the aircraft.
