Air systems for a fuel cell powered aircraft include at least one compressor for supplying heated compressed air, at least one heat exchange system for receiving the heated compressed air and from the at least one compressor and discharging cooled compressed air, and at least one turbine for receiving the cooled compressed air from the heat exchange system and directing the cooled compressed air to on-board aircraft cabin pressurization and temperature control systems. At least one shaft operatively interconnects the at least one compressor and the at least one turbine. An electric motor is provided and adapted to being powered by electrical power supplied by an on-board fuel cell of the aircraft, the electric motor being operatively connected to the shaft interconnecting the at least one compressor and the at least one turbine so as to operatively cause the shaft to drive the at least one compressor and the at least one turbine.
