An aircraft architecture may be designed to create an optimal balance between electric power and bleed power in order to match or improve current more electric architecture (MEA) performance while simplifying power extraction from the engines as well as simplifying the electrical system. Conventional aircraft architectures may use electric only ECS and cabin pressurization systems (so-called “no bleed” systems). Alternatively, older conventional aircraft may use strictly engine bleed air to provide power for ECS and cabin pressurization systems. The present invention, on the other hand, provides an architecture which may optimize the use of both engine bleed air and MEA designs to provide a system that may be simpler and potentially more reliable and available as compared to conventional aircraft architectures.

A cabin pressure control system and method improves cabin pressurization during aircraft take-off operations. The cabin pressure control system sets a cabin pressurization rate limit based on a cabin pressurization rate error.

A system that allows using a fuel cell air compressor for cabin pressurization, cabin heat, and wing de-icing. One of the fuel cell's primary components, the compressor produces the pressure necessary to operate. The operating pressure is much higher than necessary for cabin pressurization so bleed air can be used for this purpose. Compressing air requires a lot of energy, and much of that energy is transferred into the air being compressed. This warm, compressed air could then be used to heat up the passenger cabin. Similarly the warm compressed air produced from the fuel cell compressor can be used to inflate the pouches on the leading edges of the wings to remove ice in the event of extreme weather. A control system is provided to operate each individual system. These systems will require control over multiple lines and valves, and will be registering feedback from pressure sensors mounted at each point. The onboard computer system will monitor user inputs and control outputs corresponding to each system.
