How easy is it to start using hydrogen to fuel planes?

There's no doubt that hydrogen fuel is greener, but just how likely it is that all planes will change over to a new type of fuel? Watch this video to find out what would need to happen to make this change to flights.

Imagine if planes could fly with a special clean and friendly fuel called hydrogen instead of diesel! It would be like giving the planes new superhero powers to help our planet. 

To do this, clever engineers would need to make some changes to the planes. They would replace the big engines that use diesel with new engines that run on hydrogen. 

It's like giving the planes a special heart transplant! 

Hydrogen is a magical fuel because when planes use it, they don't make harmful pollution like they do with diesel. It's like a breath of fresh air for our Earth! 

With these changes, planes would be able to soar through the skies and take us on amazing adventures, all while being kind to our planet and making our skies a cleaner and happier place for everyone!
