The invention relates to a method for providing predefined desired drive characteristics () in an aircraft, characterized by the following steps: &#x2014;driving a thrust generation element of the aircraft by means of an electric motor that has actual drive characteristics () which include at least some of the desired drive characteristics () but are also partly different therefrom; and&#x2014;having a control device adjust operating points of the electric motor exclusively according to the desired drive characteristics ().

Method for providing predefined drive characteristics in an aircraft, and associated drive device

A control voltage is generated at a control input of a semiconductor circuit breaker by an actuation circuit at switching flanks of a switching signal, said control voltage having a profile which is flattened in relation to the profile of the switching signal. With the disclosed method, the switching losses in a semiconductor circuit breaker are reduced. By defining a value for a switching parameter of a control device of the actuation circuit, the switching behavior of the actuation circuit can be influenced by the switching parameter. A specific parameter value of the switching parameter can be varied during operation of the actuation circuit.
