Nope. Believe it or not, a couple of Ford Fusion putt-putts are under the cowls! I've always been a Ford-man myself.

"Boeing burns the liquid hydrogen in a pair of modified 2.3-liter Ford automotive engines, each equipped with three-stage turbochargers to compress the thin air at high altitude and a gearbox to drive the four-blade prop."
