Abstract
A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a hydrogen fuel system suppling hydrogen fuel to the combustor through a fuel flow path. A condenser extracts water from a high energy gas flow. The condenser includes a plurality of rotating passages that are disposed within a collector. The passages are configured to rotate about a condenser axis to generate a transverse pressure gradient to direct water out of the high energy gas flow toward the collector.
