Abstract

All civil aircraft equipped with electrical system is the future of aviation development. The Main AC power system ensures the safe operation of modern civil aircraft. The high power AC generator supplies high quality power for the Main AC power system. With the extensive use of all electrical and electric design requirements in civil aircraft industry, electrical power has gradually or completely replaced the conventional power of flight control system, hydraulic operating system, environmental control system, landing gear system, and de-icing system, and so on. Therefore, the electrical power system capacity and quality should be greatly improved. This paper analyzes the main AC power system of the modern civil aircraft and the development trend of civil aircraft main AC power system in the future; The high power variable speed variable frequency generator and the main AC system will supply energy for all electrical modern civil aircraft.
