An air system includes a fuselage, a motor supported by the fuselage, a propeller coupled to the motor, a fuel cell-based power generator supported by the fuselage and the motor, and a satellite communication system coupled to the fuel cell system. The generator includes a hydrogen generator, a fuel cell having an anode and a cathode, a cathode loop configured to provide oxygen to the cathode, an anode loop configured to provide hydrogen generated by the hydrogen generator to the anode, and an electrical connector coupled to the fuel cell to provide electricity generated by the fuel cell to the motor. |
