Abstract
A power management architecture as disclosed herein is suitable for use in connection with an electric brake system of an aircraft. During ground towing operations when the aircraft engines are off, the power management architecture provides operating power to the electric brake system (and other aircraft systems that are required to support towing operations) via the main aircraft battery. This towing power mode prevents the battery from powering other aircraft systems during towing operations, thus reducing the load on the battery.
