I see no problem with hydrogen aircraft and think they are likely a Good Thing. I think the hydrogen-electric engines are probably closer than the hydrogen burning engines. UH seems to be mostly about packaging and delivering the stuff at scale and trying to drum up markets for that. However they seem agnostic as to where the hydrogen comes from. There's the green stuff and the blue stuff. The blue stuff comes from fossil fuels and seems to be a sop to the local pushers, uh, oil and gas industry.
There are some other ways of generating hydrogen coming down the pike (e.g., UCSC's gallium aluminum process) which, if they pan out, might leave some of the UH oil and gas backers holding the bag.
