Abstract
One embodiment of the present disclosure is a unique aircraft. Another embodiment is a unique system for supplying electrical power to an aircraft electrical load during flight operations. Other embodiments include apparatuses, systems, devices, hardware, methods, and combinations for fluid driven actuation systems.
Claims20
An aircraft, comprising:
- a wing;
- a fuselage coupled to the wing;
- an engine coupled to at least one of the fuselage and the wing;
- an electrical load of a high energy device associated with the aircraft during flight operations;
- a generator coupled to the engine and configured to generate electrical power at a voltage above 270 volts for the electrical load of the high energy device during flight operations;
- first and second conductors electrically disposed between the electrical load and the generator;
- first and second conduits arranged along each other and configured to house the respective first and second conductors;
- and
- a dielectric gas disposed in at least one of the first and second conduits;
- wherein the at least one of the first and second conduits is configured to envelop the conductor in the dielectric gas.
