The solid oxide fuel cell with combustor (SOFC-C) addresses the problems of fast start-up, high gravimetric power density and emission control facing SOFC in aerospace and other mobile vehicle applications by providing a highly efficient clean power generation for full or partial hybrid propulsion systems. The SOFC-C may include one or more SOFC tubes and a combustion chamber integrated within a housing. Fuel may be provided through an anode portion of the one or more SOFC tubes or stacks and be combusted upon exiting the one or more SOFC tubes or stacks. The combustion products may then be provided through a cathode portion of the one or more SOFC tubes or stacks, whereby pollutants may be reduced or removed from the combustion products by the cathode portion prior exiting the housing as exhaust. A cathode inlet temperature may be controlled by controlling the fuel flow.
