...benefits of hydrogen have not been lost on one group of U.S. researchers. Engineers working on the proposed National Aerospace Plane say that hydrogen is the only combustible that ignites fast enough to boost the craft to orbital velocity, roughly 25 times the speed of sound. The frigid fuel could also be used in a cooling system to keep the plane from burning up during its fiery re-entry into the atmosphere. Test flights are scheduled...
