Abstract
An onboard oxygen generation system for an aircraft is operatively connected to an oxygen tank of an oxygen supply system for the aircraft. The oxygen generation system includes an oxygen generator, a water source connected to the oxygen generator, and a power source connected to the oxygen generator. Oxygen produced by the oxygen generator from the water is supplied to the oxygen tank. Hydrogen gas produced by the oxygen generator can be combined with air to form water vapor and either discharged overboard the aircraft through a discharge vent or used to supply water to the water source.
