As a member of the Ad Hoc Executive Group (AHEG) for ''Hydrogen in Air Transportation'', the Swiss Group, composed of representatives from industry, Swissair, the utilities and the government, decided to carry-out a study on the feasibility of refueling one cargo-aircraft per day with 15 to 30 t of liquid hydrogen (LH sub 2 ). For the mission California-Europe-Saudi Arabia, Zurich-Airport is well suited as an European base, provided the following option is chosen: Electrolytic hydrogen production, liquefaction and storage at one site on the Airport. For the demonstration phase the existing infrastructure can absorb the pilot installations without additional secondary investment. For a commercial operation however, the economics of the LH sub 2 -production has to be improved and the Airport infrastructure (land, power supply, cooling water, runways) has to be expanded.
