TLDR
Lower-cost electrical systems for small aircraft can be achieved by integrating the electrical system control functions with an aircraft integrated avionics system, and several integration techniques that have potential are now being studied and are discussed.Abstract:
Advanced control techniques for aircraft electrical power distribution systems are discussed. These advanced distribution systems combine solid-state power switching with computer control to provide automated control, adaptive load management, self-test, operational flexibility, and fault-tolerant performance. Lower-cost electrical systems for small aircraft can be achieved by integrating the electrical system control functions with an aircraft integrated avionics system. Cost savings in hardware and software development and maintenance may offset the disadvantages associated with the use of standard processors and higher levels of subsystem integration. Several integration techniques that have potential are now being studied and are discussed in this paper.read more
