  • Publication number: 20250206154
    Abstract: An energy conversion arrangement for an aircraft, an energy system and an aircraft including an energy conversion arrangement and/or an energy system are provided. The energy conversion arrangement includes a fuel conversion device, in particular a fuel cell system, for converting at least one fuel to electrical and/or mechanical energy, and an exhaust outlet for letting out exhausts produced in the fuel conversion device by the fuel conversion. At least one mixing assembly is arranged in a flow path of the exhausts before and/or after the exhaust outlet and is configured to mix the exhausts with further exhausts from the energy conversion arrangement.
