An electrical energy storage system for an aircraft, comprising at least one electrical energy storage unit with power supply lines and an energy source that is configured to store electrical energy and to supply electrical power at a predetermined voltage range via the power supply lines, wherein the at least one electrical energy storage unit comprises a power switching unit that is adapted to operate in an associated supply mode for supplying electrical power from the energy source via the power supply lines, and to operate in an associated disconnect mode for disconnecting the energy source from the power supply lines.

Electrical energy storage system for an aircraft

An electrically powered rotary-wing aircraft with a first predetermined number of thrust producing units and a second predetermined number of batteries. Each one of the first predetermined number of thrust producing units may include a rotor, and an electrical drive unit with at least two electric motors. Each battery of the second predetermined number of batteries is coupled to at most one electric motor of the at least two electric motors of at least one of the first predetermined number of thrust producing units, and each electric motor of the at least one of the first predetermined number of thrust producing units is coupled to at most one of the second predetermined number of batteries.

Electrically powered rotary-wing aircraft

An electrical system, and, more particularly, to an electrical system for an aircraft comprising one or more energy sinks and a hybrid energy storage system. The hybrid energy storage system may comprise one or more primary energy sources, a secondary energy source, and a secondary energy source control unit. The one or more primary energy sources may be coupled to and supply power to the one or more energy sinks. The secondary energy source may be coupled to the one or more primary energy sources and adapted to supply power at a variable output voltage to the one or more primary energy sources.

Hybrid energy storage system

An aircraft with an airframe and at least one thrust producing unit the at least one thrust producing unit being electrically powered by an associated electrical engine that is electrically connected to an electrical energy source via an electrical energy distribution system, wherein the airframe comprises at least one load carrying section and at least one propulsion system carrying section, wherein the at least one load carrying section and the at least one propulsion system carrying section are segregated from each other, wherein the at least one load carrying section is provided for transportation of passengers and/or cargo, and wherein the at least one propulsion system carrying section is provided for carrying at least essentially the electrical energy source and the electrical energy distribution system.

Aircraft with an airframe and at least one electrically powered thrust producing unit

A multirotor aircraft with at least two thrust producing units, the multirotor aircraft being adapted for transportation of passengers and comprising an aircraft operating structure that is adapted for operation of the multirotor aircraft in failure-free operating mode, and a redundant security architecture that is at least adapted for operation of the multirotor aircraft in case of a failure of the aircraft operating structure in operation, the redundant security architecture being provided to comply with applicable authority regulations and certification requirements regarding passenger transportation.
