Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention provides an energy management system for an aircraft (10) comprising: an air management system (1) using an air bleed system (2) and/or electrical compressor (3) for supplying compressed air to air consumers (5), a wingtip rotor unit (11), and an energy management control unit (9) configured to receive an input relative to the aircraft operating and flight condition, and selectively operate the wingtip rotor unit (11) according to one operating mode: minimum drag mode, propeller mode, and turbine mode. In minimum drag mode, blades (16) are rotating or locked in position. In propeller mode, electrical power is supplied to the generator (15) of the wingtip rotor unit (11) to rotate the blades in order to provide thrust to the aircraft (10). In turbine mode, the rotation of the blades (16) supplies energy to the aircraft (10) and/or to the electrical compressor (3) of the air management system (1).
