Abstract
An aircraft includes a fuel cell device which can be operated with hydrogen from a hydrogen tank and with oxygen drawn from the surrounding air, and further includes a superconducting magnetic energy storage unit (SMES unit) which is disposed, together with the hydrogen tank, in a cryogenic container, wherein the cryogenic container does not have an active cooling system or a liquid hydrogen generating device, and has a volume for holding a maximum of 40 kg liquid hydrogen.
