An auxiliary power unit and a method for providing electricity to an aircraft with the auxiliary power unit where the auxiliary power unit comprises a solid oxide fuel cell 22 and a combustor 50 which may be coupled to a turbine 24 having a compressor 26 and an output shaft 30. Unreacted fuel from the fuel cell is mixed with further fuel 67 from a fuel source 46 and burned in the combustor 50 which supplies hot gases to the turbine 28. A thermal-electric generator (190, figure 4) may also be supplied with hot gases.
