An example ullage-recirculating catalytic inerting system includes: (i) a plurality of fuel tanks having (a) respective inert gas ports for discharging the inert gas within a respective fuel tank, and (b) respective ullage gas ports for drawing ullage gas from the respective fuel tank; and (ii) an inert gas generating system including (a) an ullage gas inlet port fluidly coupled to the respective ullage gas ports, (b) an inert gas outlet port fluidly coupled to the respective inert gas ports, (c) a catalytic reactor for chemically converting ullage gas received through the ullage gas inlet port to inert gas for discharge through the inert gas outlet port, and (d) a prime mover for moving gas through the inert gas generating system.
