Abstract
A method for jump-starting a hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft is disclosed. The method accesses a fuel cell stack containing latent oxygen therein. Accesses a hydrogen fuel source and provides hydrogen from the hydrogen fuel source into the fuel cell stack causing the hydrogen to mix with the latent oxygen in the fuel cell stack and generate a voltage. The voltage is then provided to a component of the hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft such that additional oxygen is introduced to the fuel stack.
