Abstract :
Recent electrical power system investigations for Mach 3 to 25 aircraft are described. Several electrical power system voltage and frequency combinations are considered. A reliability and failure analysis was performed on each of several architectures to determine its suitability for supplying electrical power to the aircraft. It was found that a system architecture having three separate generating sources provided good reliability and enough redundancy so that the aircraft would still fly after the failure of two generating channels, and the mission could be completed after the failure of one generating channel
