Abstract:
Aircraft propulsion systems and aircraft having such propulsion systems are described. The aircraft propulsion systems include a fan, a motor operably connected to the fan by a drive shaft, and an aircraft power generation system operably coupled to the motor to drive rotation of the fan through the drive shaft, wherein the aircraft power generation system comprises a fuel cell configured to generate at least 1 MW of electrical power.
