An aircraft includes a fuel cell-powered electric engine system configured to power the aircraft and produce water vapor exhaust, and an exhaust system configured to receive the water vapor exhaust, condense the water vapor into ice or water, and expel the ice or water from the aircraft such that water vapor cloud formation is inhibited. A method of powering an aircraft includes operating a fuel cell-powered electric engine system to power the aircraft, condensing water vapor exhaust of the fuel cell-powered electric engine system into ice or water, and expelling the ice or water from the aircraft such that water vapor cloud formation is inhibited.
