Abstract

An aircraft propulsion system includes a core engine for generating an exhaust gas flow that is used to generate a power output. A condenser assembly extracts water from the gas flow and stores water in a water storage tank. A cooling system maintains water stored in the storage tank at a temperature within a predefined range.
