Abstract

A propulsion system for an aircraft includes an electric power source and an electric propulsion assembly having an electric motor and a propulsor, the propulsor powered by the electric motor. The propulsion system also includes an electric power bus electrically connecting the electric power source to the electric propulsion assembly. The electric power source is configured to provide electrical power to the electric power bus, and the electric power bus is configured to transfer the electric power to the electric propulsion assembly at a voltage exceeding 800 volts.
