An auxiliary power generator system for an aircraft including an auxiliary power unit (APU) with dual and fully redundant starter and electrical power generation systems that connects independently to a normal electric network or an emergency electric network of an aircraft. A method for supplying electric power to an aircraft by means of the system.

Auxiliary power system

An aircraft () including a fuselage () having a skin () and extending along a longitudinal axis () from a front end to a rear end () of the aircraft, and an engine () including an air intake () forming an opening in the skin () and an exhaust () forming another opening in the skin (). The engine is in a rear fuselage section, in which the exhaust () is situated ahead of the air intake () along the longitudinal direction ().

Aircraft with a combustion engine having an exhaust ahead of its air intake

An aircraft tailcone comprising a tailcone fuselage, a turbomachine, for example an APU, housed inside the tailcone, a ram air intake on the tailcone fuselage for the ingestion of ram air towards the interior of the turbomachine compartment, an inlet flap operable reciprocately from an open position in which ingestion of ram air is allowed, and a closed position in which ram air ingestion is prevented. The ram air intake extends annularly along a perimeter of the tailcone fuselage, and the inlet flap is configured such in its closed position that a surface of the inlet flap is substantially flush with the tailcone fuselage.
