Range Constraints: Larger tanks limit range, especially for long-haul flights. For example, the B2N 50’ achieves ~1,200 nm with CHG vs. 1,857 nm with LH2.

Tank Weight: High-pressure tanks (700 bar) are heavier, potentially reducing payload for the B2N Heavy’s 350 passengers.

Range Impact: Our flying wing’s 1.8x lift-to-drag ratio (20:1 vs. 11:1 for standard jets) mitigates CHG’s range limitations by optimizing aerodynamics. However, the B2N 69’ Jet’s CHG range (~3,000 nm) falls short of its 4,800 nm LH2 capability, making CHG better suited for shorter missions.

Liquid Hydrogen (LH2): Powering Long-Haul Excellence

Advantages:

Superior Energy Density: LH2’s compact storage (8.5 MJ/L) enables longer ranges—crucial for the B2N Heavy’s 7,000 nm transoceanic flights.

Enhanced Efficiency: LH2 delivers 2x energy efficiency over Jet-A, contributing to the B2N 50’s 14.4x fuel efficiency (11,463 nm/kg vs. 794 nm/kg for Cirrus Vision Jet).

Aerodynamic Integration: Smaller LH2 tanks fit seamlessly into our flying wing design, minimizing drag and maximizing payload for the B2N 69’ Jet’s 18–24 passengers.

Challenges:

Cryogenic Complexity: LH2 requires storage at -253°C, demanding advanced insulation and energy-intensive liquefaction (20–30% of energy content).

Safety Protocols: Cryogenic risks (e.g., thermal burns, embrittlement) necessitate stringent handling, increasing operational overhead.

Infrastructure Costs: Cryogenic systems raise initial setup costs, though offset by our $0.30/kg LH2 production.

Range Impact: LH2’s high energy density shines in our flying wing’s spacious design. The B2N Heavy achieves 7,000 nm, rivaling Boeing’s 787-9, while the B2N 50’ reaches 1,857 nm with a 15’x3’ tank. LH2’s efficiency supports our claim of “astronomical” range potential, with real-world tests suggesting record breaking efficiency for specialized missions.

Trade-offs and Design Synergies

Weight vs. Volume: CHG’s lighter fuel weight is offset by heavier, bulkier tanks. LH2’s lighter tanks enhance efficiency, critical for the B2N Heavy’s 63% cost advantage over Boeing’s $280M 787-9 (B2N Heavy: $102.5M).

Operational Complexity: CHG’s simplicity suits early B2N 50’ variants for regional routes, while LH2’s complexity is justified for the B2N 69’ Jet’s 4,800 nm transcontinental range.

Flying Wing Advantage: Our design’s voluminous airframe accommodates CHG’s larger tanks without compromising aerodynamics, but LH2 optimizes range and payload. For example, the B2N 69’ Jet’s LH2 tanks integrate into the wing, reducing drag vs. CHG’s bulkier setup.

Environmental Impact: Both fuels achieve zero emissions with our renewable-powered production, but LH2’s efficiency (e.g., 24.7x cost savings for B2N 50’ at $0.30/kg) maximizes sustainability.

Strategic Roadmap

For Archon’s initial rollout, CHG powers the B2N 50’ (1,200 nm, $2.2M) and select B2N 69’ Jet variants, leveraging existing infrastructure and industry familiarity, as seen in hydrogen vehicles. As our technology matures, LH2 will dominate, unlocking “mind-blowing” ranges for the B2N Heavy (7,000 nm, $102.5M) and enabling extended missions.
