An aircraft propulsion module (1) comprises a hydrogen storage system (11), an electrochemical converter (7) connected to the hydrogen storage system, wherein the at least one electrochemical converter is adapted to convert hydrogen supplied from the hydrogen storage system into electric energy, and an electric motor (5) electrically connected to the electrochemical converter, wherein the electric motor is adapted to generate thrust; wherein the propulsion module comprises at least one separation means adapted to separate at least one component of the propulsion module from the propulsion module. An aircraft (3) comprises at least one aircraft propulsion module. A method for operating a propulsion module comprises that: during operation of the propulsion module, at least one separation means (22) is actuated, by which actuation at least one component (8) of the propulsion module is separated from the remaining propulsion module (12) and then falls from the remaining propulsion module.
