A DC electrical power generation system for aircraft having primary and emergency generation systems is disclosed. The system includes a transmission driven power generator, a dedicated generator control unit and a distribution network for providing sufficient capacity to all electrical loads on the aircraft. The emergency power system includes at least one engine driven starter generators, with an associated controller unit and associated distribution network for providing sufficient backup capacity to electrical loads assigned thereto.

1. A redundant DC electrical power system for an aircraft having at least two rotors mechanically driven by a common main driveshaft, comprising:a primary power system including a power generator driven by said common main driveshaft, a dedicated generator control unit and an isolated distribution network that further includes electrical busses for providing sufficient capacity to electrical loads on the aircraft; and an emergency power system including at least one engine driven starter generator with an associated controller unit and associated distribution network that is isolated from the primary power system, the emergency power system for providing sufficient backup capacity to the aircraft electrical loads in the event that the primary power system fails.
