An auxiliary power unit for an aircraft. It includes an air compressor coupled to an air-drawing device for drawing in air from outside the aircraft, the compressor supplying compressed air to a manifold. The manifold is configured to supply air to an environmental control system and a start-up module of at least one propulsion system of the aircraft running on hydrogen. The manifold is also configured to supply air to a fuel cell stack arranged to provide an electric generation function configured to power non-propulsive systems of the aircraft, the fuel cell stack also being supplied with hydrogen from a tank supplying hydrogen to the at least one propulsion system of the aircraft.
