An air start unit for starting and servicing jet engines in aircraft and other flying machines, wherein at least one compressor is provided for generating air and a power supply for supplying electrical power consumers. The air start unit drives the compressor with at least one electric motor, with the electric motor drawing the electrical energy for operation from a high-voltage battery. The electric motors then in turn drive the compressor, which generates compressed air from ambient air for the purpose of starting and servicing the jet engines in aircraft and other flying machines. With an appropriate battery capacity, the air start unit can also supply power consumer of these aircraft and other flying machines via the power supply.
