Fuel cell and power train (FCPT) systems are provided and adapted to being operatively mounted at a tail section of an aircraft fuselage. The FCPT systems will include port and starboard subsystems each being comprised of a nacelle adapted to being laterally attached to a respective side of the tail section of the fuselage, an electric motor contained in the nacelle, a propeller assembly mounted to the nacelle and operatively connected to and adapted to be driven by the electric motor contained therein, and at least one fuel cell positioned in the tail section of the fuselage to supply electrical power to the electric motor contained in the nacelle. One or more hydrogen fuel tanks may be mounted within the tail section of the fuselage to provide a source of hydrogen gas (H2) as fuel to the fuel cells.
