Abstract

The invention refers to an aircraft incorporating an enhanced power unit for generating electric, pneumatic and/or hydraulic power for the aircraft during all stages of the aircraft operation. The power unit (1) comprises: a heat engine (14) with a drive shaft (2) and a combustion gases exhaust pipe (7), a load compressor (3) mechanically coupled with the drive shaft (2) to provide a flow of compressed air to the aircraft, a Ram-air intake (4) to supply Ram air to the load compressor (3), and a Rankine cycle system (12) for recovering thermal energy from the combustion gases and the compressed air for the assistance of the heat engine (14). The Rankine cycle system (12) comprises: an expander (22), a first Ram-air intake (11), a condenser (19) to cool down a Rankine system fluid, and a first (10a) and second heat exchanger (10b) for transferring heat to the Rankine system fluid.
