The hydrogen embrittlement is briefly reviewed and discussed in terms of specific structural materials considered for use on a generic, hydrogen-fueled, hypersonic aerospace vehicle. A few unusual hydrogen-material incompatibility concerns are identified and some solution methodologies are discussed that could potentially lessen these concerns.
