Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method for operating a propulsion system for an aircraft, the propulsion system including a gas turbine engine and a fuel cell assembly, the fuel cell assembly comprising a fuel cell stack having a fuel cell defining an outlet positioned to remove output products from the fuel cell during operation, the method including: executing a startup sequence for the gas turbine engine, wherein executing the startup sequence comprises initiating the startup sequence for the gas turbine engine; executing a startup sequence for the fuel cell assembly concurrently with, or subsequent to, initiating the startup sequence for the gas turbine engine; and operating the fuel cell assembly to provide output products to a combustion section of the gas turbine engine.
