  • Variable pneumatic output with constant electrical output driven by a single engine
    Patent number: 10589874
    Abstract: In an embodiment, an integrated ground support system for an aircraft is described herein, the system including a frame on which the system is arranged as a singular assembly. An engine, drive train, alternator, bleed air unit, one or more electrical components, and air cycle machine are mounted on the frame. The engine operates at a first operational state associated with a first rotational speed that is independent of a frequency associated with electrical power, if only the electrical power is to be used by the aircraft, and the engine operates at a second operational state associated with a second rotational speed, different from the first rotational speed, that is a function of a pressure associated with bleed air or the conditioned air, if the electrical power and one of the bleed air or the conditioned air are to be used simultaneously by the aircraft.

  • INTEGRATED MOBILE GROUND SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR SERVICING AIRCRAFT
    Publication number: 20180002037
    Abstract: An integrated mobile ground support system 10 includes a wheeled cart 12 on which is mounted a power plant 14 to power an air compressor 16 to provide bleed air to an aircraft. The power plant 14 also powers an electrical generator 22, the output of which is controlled and converted to AC and/or DC power to meet the power requirements of the aircraft. An air conditioning unit 20 is also mounted on the cart 12 for providing conditioned air to the aircraft.
