An aircraft system includes a main fuel tank (160, 260) configured to house primary fuel and a green fuel tank (170, 270) configured to house green fuel. The mixing apparatus (180, 280) is configured to mix the primary fuel and the green fuel to result in a predetermined ratio of mixed fuel. A controller (190, 290) selectively commands a first amount of primary fuel and a second amount of green fuel to result in the predetermined ratio of mixed fuel. The main aircraft engine (120, 220) is configured to operate, in a first main engine mode, with the primary fuel from the main fuel tank and to operate, in a second main engine mode, with the mixed fuel from the mixing apparatus based on commands from the controller. The auxiliary power source (130, 230) is configured to operate with at least a portion of the green fuel from the green fuel tank based on commands from the controller.
