The advent of microprocessors and the reliance on more and more software stored in memory to control essential functions have put some new demands on aircraft electrical power systems. This paper provides a brief background to the electrical system development process. It attempts to identify the requirements imposed by the new digital electronics and discusses the possible solutions to meet their requirements. The requirements are characterized by various levels of equipment criticality, the changing methods of generation and distribution of power, and the electromagnetic threats imposed due to changing aircraft structures reducing the inherent protection provided by metal skinned aircraft. Solutions effecting the power system and utilization equipment are proposed for consideration.
