Can you image the insane shit military planes could do if they ran on liquid hydrogen ?

>mach 5+ speeds possible for turbine engines due to cryogenic inlet cooling
>insane turbine inlet temperatures due to cryogenic turbine blade cooling by injection
>the dumped coolant becomes fuel for the afterburner
>compressor stators act as intercoolers to increase compressor efficiency
>the heated hydrogen from the stators enters the diffusers as hot gas making fuel combustion trivial
>superconducting generators can now extract megawatts of power
>radars can now be cooled to cryogenic temperatures allowing them to be more sensitive and radiate insane amounts of power

Basically imagine a tomcat travelling at mach FUCK throwing aim54s from space that are guided by an AESA AWG9 that radiates 2 (TWO) megawatts at your general direction

Sounds like my latest KSP creation

just solve the volume problem dummy and make it reality! I believe in you!

Just use less fuel, you dont even need more than 100 galons. Are you some pussy that is afraid of bingo fuel flashing on his HUD ?

>imagine what we could do with magic!
wow

You need to minimize dry mass, by getting rid of unnecessary things like landing gear and taking the largest fuel tanks and clipping them into each other 50 times.

Cryogenic fuels are an absolute pain to work with.

Would liquid methane allow for similar performance?
>>
>>64760141
Why don't you make a hobby plane run on liquid hydrogen if you know so much? Seriously, if you can make an advancement do so.
