Claim 7:
8. A method of managing hydrogen fuel of a hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft, said method comprising:
identifying unused hydrogen fuel in a fuel tank of said hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft;
determining an amount of said unused hydrogen fuel in said fuel tank of said hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft;
determining whether transferring said amount of unused said unused hydrogen fuel in said fuel tank of said hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft to an external storage container or whether converting said amount of said unused hydrogen fuel into electricity via said hydrogen fuel cell of said hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft is appropriate;
provided said transferring of said amount of unused said unused hydrogen fuel in said fuel tank of said hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft to said external storage container is appropriate, transferring said amount of unused said unused hydrogen fuel in said fuel tank of said hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft to said external storage container; and
provided said converting of said amount of said unused hydrogen fuel into electricity via said hydrogen fuel cell of said hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft is appropriate, transferring said amount of said unused hydrogen fuel from said fuel tank of said hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft into a hydrogen fuel cell of said hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft and converting said amount of said unused hydrogen fuel into electricity via said hydrogen fuel cell of said hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft.
