The invention defines a combined system of sensor(s), control logic, air intake and contaminant deflector for a fuel cell system mounted on an aircraft, which will detect contamination in the free air flow surrounding the aircraft and if excessive contamination is detected will activate the contaminant deflector to protect the fuel cell system from contamination, damage and power loss. The system ensures constant speed of the aircraft by adjusting the power of the fuel cells to compensate any change in aircraft drag and adjusts the speed of any connected compressors to maintain and achieve necessary changes in power and compensation for any air pressure losses the system creates.
