Bleed air systems for use with aircraft and related methods are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a compressor having a compressor inlet and a compressor outlet. The compressor is to be driven by a drive shaft extending from an engine of an aircraft. The example apparatus also includes a first passageway to fluidly couple a first low-pressure bleed air port from the engine to the compressor inlet and a second passageway to fluidly couple the compressor outlet to a system of the aircraft.

Bleed air systems for use with aircraft and related methods

Methods and systems for providing secondary power to aircraft systems. In one embodiment, an aircraft system architecture for providing power to an environmental control system includes an electric generator operably coupled to a jet engine. The jet engine can be configured to provide propulsive thrust to the aircraft, and the electric generator can be configured to receive shaft power from the jet engine. The environmental control system can be configured to provide outside air to a passenger cabin of the aircraft in the absence of bleed air from the jet engine.
