Abstract
⺠We examine proton exchange membrane fuel cells on-board commercial airplanes. ⺠We model the added fuel cell system's effect on overall airplane performance. ⺠It is feasible to implement an on-board fuel cell system with current technology. ⺠Systems that maximize waste heat recovery are the best performing. ⺠Current PEM and H2 storage technology results in an airplane performance penalty.
