What are the big picture challenges with using Hydrogen specifically within the airframe?

I'm assuming storage volume, insulation, leak proofing are big ones before you even get to a power plant? Are we talking pressurised gas or cryogenics?

Are they planning to burn it in a gas turbine or some kind of fuel cell and electric propulsion?

The whole area is fascinating but a lot of basic hurdles to overcome along the way.
