Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for controlling an aircraft power. SOLUTION: This system according to one embodiment comprises an electric motor, an aircraft load coupled to the electric motor and powered by the electric motor, and a motor controller coupled to the electric motor to change the output of the electric motor. The motor controller is changeable among a fixed number of preset controller modes. Indivisual control modes correspond to an operation mode of aircraft and a non-zero output level of the electric motor. In further embodiment, the motor controller can be substituted for each other, e.g, when one motor controller mal-functions. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
