Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide an electrical power generation system for an aircraft using waste heat generated by a system of an aircraft.

An electrical power generation and distribution system (1) for an aircraft includes a plurality of heat sources (2, 3, 4, 5) and a thermoelectric generator (6, 7, 8, 9) arranged to receive waste heat from at least one heat source and to convert the waste heat to electrical current.
