This paper carries out an initial assessment of a novel Fuel Cell Auxiliary Propulsion and Power Unit (FC-APPU) for a short-to-medium range passenger aircraft with an entry-into-service of 2035. Integration implications of a FC-APPU system in terms of mass, drag and hydrogen consumption for different technology scenarios are presented and compared against a Fuel Cell Auxiliary Power Unit (FC-APU).
