Abstract
Water is generated onboard of a craft such as an aircraft or in a self-contained stationary system by partially or completely integrating a water generating unit into a power plant of the craft or system. The water generating unit includes one or more high temperature fuel cells which partially or completely replace the combustion chamber or chambers of the power plant. A reformer process is integrated into the high temperature fuel cell which is arranged between, on the one hand, a fan () and power plant compressor stages () and, on the other hand, power plant turbine stages (). These power plant stages may be provided in such redundant numbers that safety and redundancy requirements are satisfied.
