An aircraft engine is provided. The aircraft engine includes a compressor section having a compressor. A turbine section is downstream of the compressor section. The turbine section includes a turbine having turbine blades arranged in counter rotating stages. The aircraft engine further includes one or more fluid supply lines and a fuel cell assembly fluidly coupled to the one or more fluid supply lines for receiving one or more input fluids. The fuel cell assembly is in fluid communication with the turbine section to provide one or more output products to the turbine section. The aircraft engine further includes a heat exchanger in fluid communication with the turbine downstream of the counter rotating stages of turbine blades to receive exhaust gases from the turbine. The heat exchanger is thermally coupled to the one or more fluid supply lines of the fuel cell assembly.
