Abstract: A power supply module aircraft, including at least an electrical connection to a first AC distribution network, an electrical connection to a second AC distribution network, a synchronization and junction module, and a power converter, the power supply module being external to an aircraft. The power converter is configured to deliver to said aircraft a DC supply voltage obtained by the synchronization and junction module from the first and second AC distribution networks. Advantageously, it is thus possible to supply electrical energy to an aeroplane parked in an area of an airport, without requiring complex logistics and without having to use its auxiliary power unit.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electrical system of a hybrid aircraft, the electrical system includes at least two busbars configured to transfer electrical energy between a plurality of subsystems of said aircraft and comprising at least one centralised regulation control device, the method includes the regulation of a voltage level performed by the controller from one or more variable regulation points determined from among a plurality of predefined regulation points and each located in either one of the busbars, as a function of the nature of the transfers of electrical power that are to be performed.

Abstract: A method for managing power drawn from power units of propulsion units of an aircraft, wherein the method includes a step of increasing the amount of power drawn from a second power unit that is time shifted, with respect to a step of increasing the amount of power drawn from a first power unit, for a duration that at least allows the operational state or the non-operational state of the first power unit to be determined. This solution allows simultaneous switching to the non-operational state of the two power units to be avoided.

Abstract: The vertical profile management device includes a flight management system unit that selects a plurality of successive standard cruise sections, each comprising a level phase and a transition phase. The cruise sections are defined by a plurality of features, including waypoints corresponding to a section starting point and a section ending point, a transition type, a transition mode, a transition speed, a level altitude, and a level speed. The flight management system unit also joins together the successive cruise sections in order to form a vertical profile of a flight plan. The cruise sections are configured to be added, removed, or re-sequenced in the flight plan because each section ending point is configured to be the section starting point of a next cruise section in the series.

Abstract: The device includes means for determining a plurality of successive standard flight sections (S1A, S2A, S3A, S4A) comprising a level and a transition phase for reaching this level, and means for joining together these successive flight sections (S1A, S2A, S3A, S4A) in order to form the vertical profile (PV1) of the flight plan.
