Abstract: A power system with a reliability enhancing battery architecture for electric motors adapted for use in an aerial vehicle. Individual batteries may be used to power a subset two or more motors in systems with six or more motors, for example. Each motor may be powered by two or more subsets of batteries, allowing accommodation for motor failure. With a failed motor in a vertical take-off or landing mode, power may be diverted to other motors to continue proper attitude control, and to provide sufficient thrust. With a failed motor a second motor offset from the failed motor may be powered down to facilitate attitude control.

Abstract: The power system can include: a plurality of batteries, a plurality of electric propulsion units, flight computers, and power connections. The propulsion assemblies can include a motor, a propeller, and one or more inverters. The power system can optionally include a plurality of flight actuators. However, the power system can include any other suitable set of components. The power system functions to provide aircraft propulsion and/or aircraft control authority during flight.

Abstract: A hybrid power distribution system for an aircraft includes a first and second set of electrically-powered devices, such as inverters, motors and so forth. A first battery system is coupled to one or more of the first set of electrically-powered devices and a first fuel cell is coupled to one or more of the first set of electrically-powered devices. A second battery system is coupled to one or more of the second set of electrically-powered devices and a second fuel cell coupled to one or more of the second set of electrically-powered devices. The fuel cells and batteries together supply power to the electrically-powered devices as needed, while the fuel cells also keep the batteries charged.
