Abstract

An aircraft, such as a rotary-wing aircraft, may be selectably fitted with power modules that may be installed in or removed from corresponding openings in the aircraft fuselage. The power modules may be interchangeable with other power modules, The power modules may utilize different technologies or thermodynamic cycles to generate power, including electrical batteries, fuel cells, a turbine powered generator, a reciprocating engine-powered generator, a turbine engine, a reciprocating engine, or other electrical or mechanical sources of power. The power modules may transfer electrical or mechanical power to the aircraft to maintain the aircraft in flight or to provide propulsion to the aircraft. An aircraft control system may detect the installed power modules and adjust inceptors and displays to correspond to the installed power modules.
