A method for providing electrical power and cooling for an aircraft includes: connecting a starter generator to an energy accumulator bus; selectively connecting the energy accumulator bus to a first power distribution unit in a first power channel or a second power distribution unit in a second power channel; wherein the starter generator is coupled to a shaft in an integrated power and cooling unit that includes a cooling turbine coupled to the shaft; a compressor coupled to the shaft and including an input for receiving engine bleed air or ambient air and an output for discharging compressed air; a flywheel coupled to the shaft; and a power turbine coupled to the shaft; and using energy stored in the flywheel to rotate the shaft enabling the starter generator to supply electrical power to the energy accumulator bus.
