Publication number: 20240025297Abstract: This disclosure describes at least embodiments of an aircraft monitoring system for an electric or hybrid airplane. The aircraft monitoring system can be constructed to enable the electric or hybrid aircraft to pass certification requirements relating to a safety risk analysis. The aircraft monitoring system can have different subsystems for monitoring and alerting of failures of a component, such as a battery pack, a motor controller, and/or a motors. The failures that pose a greater safety risk may be monitored and indicated by one or more subsystems without use of programmable components.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Sébastien Demont, Franco Summermatter, Sébastien Luisier, Frank Rimpl

Publication number: 20230249563Abstract: A power supply system can include an electrical power source and a power converter connectable to a load. The electrical power source can provide a first DC voltage with a first potential difference (VH) between a first DC potential output and a second DC potential output, and a third DC potential output having a potential between the potential at the first DC potential output and the potential at the second DC potential output. The power converter can provide a second voltage with a second potential difference (VL) between a first potential output (V+) and a second potential output (V-). The second potential difference (VL) can be less than the first potential difference (VH). The power converter can electrically isolate the first DC voltage from the second voltage, and the second potential output (V-) can be connected to the third DC potential output using a first connection including an impedance.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Sébastien Demont, Stéphane Pierre-Jean Boirin, David Costes
