Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a device and a method for cooling a heat exchanger of a fuel cell of a flight propulsion drive outside of a flight phase of an aircraft. The flight propulsion drive has an air line with at least one compressor for feeding compressed air for the operation of the fuel cell. A flow amplifier is arranged in the region of the heat exchanger, and is configured to guide air onto a cooling surface of the heat exchanger, whereby thermal energy is diverted from the cooling surface of the heat exchanger.
