An SIPU is a multifunctional aircraft power unit capable of providing pneumatic, and hydraulic power for ground maintenance and standby operations, normal and emergency main engine start power, and emergency electrical and hydraulic power. Power is obtained either from jet fuel combustion with air for ground operations and normal engine starts, from a gas generator system using onboard stored propellants for emergency functions, or from the aircraft main engine compressor air for the emergency electrical and hydraulic power function. Rockwell International's Rocketdyne Division conducted a program, sponsored by the Aeropropulsion Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Froce Base, to design, fabricate, assemble, and test the SIPU concept by operating a demonstrator in all modes. This paper provides a description of the SIPU concept, the designs of the demonstrator, and each of its subsystems. The benefits resulting from the use of an SIPU are presented.
