    Abstract: An aircraft system includes a main fuel tank configured to house primary fuel and a green fuel tank configured to house green fuel. The mixing apparatus is configured to mix the primary fuel and the green fuel to result in a predetermined ratio of mixed fuel. A controller selectively commands a first amount of primary fuel and a second amount of green fuel to result in the predetermined ratio of mixed fuel. The main aircraft engine is configured to operate, in a first main engine mode, with the primary fuel from the main fuel tank and to operate, in a second main engine mode, with the mixed fuel from the mixing apparatus based on commands from the controller. The auxiliary power source is configured to operate with at least a portion of the green fuel from the green fuel tank based on commands from the controller.

    Abstract: A system is provided for inerting a fuel tank of an aircraft. The system includes a first compressor fluidly coupled to the fuel tank for removing an air and fuel vapor mixture from an ullage of the fuel tank. The system further includes a fuel processor fluidly coupled to the first compressor and configured to receive the air and fuel vapor mixture and to generate hydrogen from the air and fuel vapor mixture. The system further includes a fuel cell fluidly coupled to the fuel processor and configured to receive the hydrogen as anode fuel to produce electricity. The system further includes a combustor fluidly coupled to the fuel cell and configured to combust the exhaust product to produce combustion gas, and a first heat exchanger fluidly coupled to the combustor and configured to cool the combustion gas into inerting gas for the fuel tank.
