I'm curious if the energy required to liquify the hydrogen is taken into account.

Anyone interested in this should take a look at the FlyZero project run in the UK by the Aerospace Technology Institute. It considers in depth all aspects of the use of hydrogen as aviation fuel.

The weight of the container for storing Hydrogen makes it an impossible source for aviation.
All this conversion to alternative fuels has been an absolute disaster.

It's clearly not impossible Colin, because there have been a great many hydrogen powered flights by aircraft of a range of different designs, going back to the 1980's.

Airbus have a target for a 2035 hydrogen passenger aircraft.

Look at the Flyzero reports.

Impossible? Are you sure?
