Abstract

A Solid Oxide Regenerative Fuel Cell (SORFC) (240) or a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) (750) is incorporated into an electrically powered airplane to provide either regenerative or primary electrical energy. The SORFC (240), the SOFC (750), or any other suitable fuel cell within an airplane may also be used to heat payload or equipment (810) within the airplane. The SORFC (240) is not only capable of generating electrical energy from fuel and a suitable oxidizer, but can also generate fuel through electrolysis of oxidized fuel. Thus, the SORFC (240) system powering an airplane can obtain oxygen oxidant reactant from the air and avoid the complexity, weight, volume, and cost associated with oxygen storage.
