A fixed-wing combat aircraft comprising an electrical power source, a propulsion system, a low-power non-propulsion assembly comprising a flight control system, a high-power non-propulsion assembly comprising an electrical weapon system, and a management unit configured to selectively establish on command multiple operating modes comprising: a flight mode, in which the management unit distributes the electrical power supplied by the electrical power source to the propulsion system and to the low-power non-propulsion assembly, and an attack mode, in which the management unit limits the electrical power supplied by the electrical power source to the propulsion system and to the low-power non-propulsion assembly to the power required to allow the aircraft to glide, and reserves a majority of the available electrical power for the high-power non-propulsion assembly.
