Trade-Space Assessment of Liquid Hydrogen Propulsion Systems for Electrified Aircraft

This model was developed as part of the Center for High-Efficiency Electrical Technologies for Aircraft (CHEETA) sponsored by NASA. This code corresponds to that presented at Aviation 2023 in San Diego, CA - https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/abs/10.2514/6.2023-4345

To run a particular configuration, run the corresponding mission_.py file. For example, mission_H2FullyE.py will optimize a hydrogen-fueled, fuel-cell-powered aircraft for the specified mission.

The following scripts correspond to the listed figures in the paper:
