  • Electric-based secondary power system architectures for aircraft
    Patent number: 7950606
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing secondary power to aircraft systems. In one embodiment, an aircraft system architecture for providing power to an environmental control system includes an electric generator operably coupled to a jet engine. The jet engine can be configured to provide propulsive thrust to the aircraft, and the electric generator can be configured to receive shaft power from the jet engine. The environmental control system can be configured to provide outside air to a passenger cabin of the aircraft in the absence of bleed air from the jet engine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 29, 2007
    Date of Patent: May 31, 2011
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
    Inventors: Warren A. Atkey, Alan T. Bernier, Michael D. Bowman, Thomas A. Campbell, Jonathan M. Cruse, Charles J. Fiterman, Charles S. Meis, Casey Ng, Farhad Nozari, Edward Zielinski
