Abstract
Aircraft having at least one propulsion unit supplied with hydrogen by at least one hydrogen tank, and having at least one thrust reversal system including at least one actuator. The aircraft can include at least one means for storing or transporting the residual hydrogen of the propulsion unit, a fuel cell disposed in the hydrogen power source and supplied with hydrogen by the at least one means for storing the residual hydrogen, and a hydrogen thrust reverser actuation system. The thrust reverser actuation system can include a hydrogen thrust reverser actuation controller and a hydrogen primary power unit with a fuel cell supplied with hydrogen and powering the at least one thrust reverser actuator.
