Huh?

What am I missing?

It is mislabeled. Just a jet using hydrogen not to run an electric
motor. Obvious problem with hydrogen is carrying enough fuel since it
requires temperature only about 20 deg C above absolute zero. It is not
eco free either as it has to come from electrolysis or petroleum which
is the pollution source.


Wrong. Did you even read it or look at it? It clearly talks about
fuel cells and shows them generating
electric to run motors to power fans. It sure sounds very stupid
because you would think you could just burn the hydrogen in some
kind of jet engine directly instead and save a lot of weight too.
