Abstract
A hydrogen fuel system for an aircraft includes a housing, a hydrogen fuel component, and a hydrogen storage structure. The hydrogen fuel component has a hydrogen fuel passage for hydrogen fuel to flow therethrough. The hydrogen fuel component is located within a volume of the housing. The hydrogen storage structure includes a hydrogen storage material having a morphology for retaining hydrogen within the hydrogen storage material. A hydrogen leak path is defined within the volume of the housing, a hydrogen accumulation region is defined within the volume of the housing, or both the hydrogen leak path and the hydrogen accumulation region is defined within the volume of the housing. The hydrogen storage structure is within the volume of the housing in at least one of the hydrogen leak path or in the hydrogen accumulation region.
