A propulsion system comprising a nacelle with an air channel along a longitudinal direction, an electric motor whose output drives a propeller, and a fuel cell, comprising a core outside the air channel, open channels, each of which has an inlet and an outlet opening in the air channel, and, for each open channel, a fuel chamber, an electrolyte between the open channel and the fuel chamber, a cathode, and an anode, each open channel having an inlet surface area which is less than the surface area of an intermediate area between the inlet and the outlet, the surface area of the outlet being smaller than the surface area of the intermediate area. Such a system makes it possible to have the fuel cell close to the electric motor, thereby reducing the lengths of the electrical conductors between them, and consequently improving the operation of the fuel cell.
