Abstract

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling power distribution in an electrical aircraft propulsive system having at least one electrical propulsion unit (12) which includes a plurality of rotatable blades (14), each blade having an adjustable pitch; a pitch adjusting mechanism for adjusting the pitch of the blades (14); at least one electrical machine electrically connected to the electrical propulsion unit (12) so as to provide electrical power when in use; and, a control system, the method comprising the steps of: determining the required propulsion; determining whether the propulsive units are delivering the required propulsion; and, adjusting the pitch angle of the blades of at least one propulsive unit so as to increase or decrease the propulsion provided by that propulsive unit.
