Abstract:
An aircraft propulsion system (10) comprises at least first and second electrical generators (15a, 15b), each being configured to provide electrical power to a respective first and second AC electrical network (16a, 16b). The system (10) further comprises at least first and second AC electrical motors (19a, 19b) directly electrically coupled to a respective AC network (16a, 16b) and coupled to a respective propulsor (4), and a DC electrical network electrically coupled to the first and second AC networks (16a, 16b) via respective first and second AC to DC converters (17a, 17b), and to a further electrical motor 19c), the further electrical motor (19c) being coupled to a propulsor (4).
