A propulsion system includes a system for producing electricity that supplies electricity to at least one electric motor to which is mechanically coupled a propeller situated near a first longitudinal end of a nacelle that houses at least the system for producing electricity and the at least one electric motor. An air circulation channel, which receives a heat exchanger provided to allow the system for producing electricity to be cooled, extends inside the nacelle from a first end of the air circulation channel situated at the first longitudinal end of the nacelle. A part of the air circulation channel that is contiguous with its first end is delimited by an outer surface of cylindrical shape that surrounds the longitudinal axis of the nacelle.

Electric propulsion system of an aircraft

An aircraft having a fuselage having a pressurized upper space above the floor and a lower space beneath the floor, a wing, a hollow support stay fixed between the lower space level of the fuselage and the wing, an electric motor propeller propulsion system fixed beneath each wing, the output shaft of the motor driving a propeller in rotation, a production system having a fuel cell producing electrical energy supplying the electric motor with electricity via electrical conductors, a hydrogen reservoir fixed in the lower space, and a hydrogen inlet pipe feeding hydrogen from a hydrogen reservoir to the production system, wherein the hydrogen inlet pipe extends through the interior of the support stay. The electrical conductors or the hydrogen pipes pass through the stays on the outside of the fuselage and therefore at a distance from the passengers and the electronic systems of the aircraft.
