摘要： An electrical power unit provides electrical power to an electrical component on-board an aircraft. The electrical power unit includes a hydrogen generation system configured to be positioned on-board the aircraft. The hydrogen generation system is further configured to generate hydrogen using a reaction between water and metal. The electrical power unit also includes a fuel cell configured to be positioned on-board the aircraft. The fuel cell is operatively connected to the hydrogen generation system such that the fuel cell receives hydrogen from the hydrogen generation system. The fuel cell is further configured to generate electrical power from the hydrogen received from the hydrogen generation system and to be electrically connected to the electrical component for supplying the component with electrical power.
