Zusammenfassung: | A hybrid propulsion system for propelling an aircraft (100) comprises a first propulsion system (11) based on fuel cells and a second propulsion (12) system based on one or more combustion engines (15, 16). The first propulsion system (11) is fully providing a base thrust (A). The second propulsion system (12) is providing a peak thrust (B) needed for take-off of the aircraft (100) and/or is assisting the first propulsion system (11) in propelling the aircraft (100) when the peak thrust (B) is needed or in failure conditions. |
