Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a power distribution system for an aircraft that comprises at least one engine, comprising at least one torque transmission means that is movably held and is connected to at least one shaft of the engine and extends from the shaft of the engine to an interior region of the aircraft fuselage, and at an end pointing away from the engine comprises at least one interface for introducing a torque. At the interface of the torque transmission means it is possible both to operate mechanical and to start the engine. Consequently in the aircraft it is possible to essentially do without converting mechanical energy to electrical energy and the subsequent use of electrical energy for generating mechanical power. This is particularly favourable in the case of twin-engine commercial aircraft that are used on short hauls.
