An aircraft propulsion system includes a primary energy conversion device that uses a cryogenic fuel and air to generate power and thermal energy. The primary energy conversion device is mounted to a first structure of an aircraft. A bottoming cycle includes a working fluid that is circulated within a closed circuit that includes a bottoming compressor section and a bottoming turbine section. At least a portion of the bottoming cycle is mounted to a second structure of the aircraft that is different from the first structure. A primary heat exchanger provides communication of thermal energy from the primary conversion device to the working fluid of the bottoming cycle and is mounted within the first structure of the aircraft proximate the primary energy conversion device.
