The invention relates to an architecture of a propulsion system of a multi-engine helicopter comprising turboshaft engines connected to a power transmission gearbox, characterised in that it comprises: at least one hybrid turboshaft engine () capable of operating in at least one standby mode during a stable cruise flight of the helicopter; at least two systems () for controlling each hybrid turboshaft engine (), each system () comprising an electric machine () connected to the hybrid turboshaft engine () and suitable for rotating the gas generator thereof, and at least one source () of electrical power for said electric machine (), each reactivation system () being configured such that it can drive said turboshaft engine () in at least one operating mode among a plurality of predetermined modes.

Architecture for a propulsion system of a helicopter including a hybrid turboshaft engine and a system for reactivating said hybrid turboshaft engine

A device for supplying electrical power to an aircraft on the ground, including two electric generators driven by an auxiliary power unit. The first generator is connected by a connection/disconnection mechanism to an aircraft network and to an electric taxiing network, to supply either an AC voltage to the aircraft network when it is connected to the aircraft network, or an AC voltage or a power to the taxiing network when it is connected to the taxiing network. The second generator is connected by the connection/disconnection mechanism to the aircraft or taxiing networks to supply the AC voltage to one of those networks.
