Electrification of aviation with fuel cells requires a redundant and fail-safe system design. To achieve this, multi-3phase systems can offer advantages through segmentation and redundancy. Fuel cell systems, directly coupled to the machine segments without additional batteries, enable additional increases in energy and power density. In this work, multi-source multi-3-phase propulsion system architectures are presented, tested and validated, which show advantages regarding the redundancy of propulsion systems. It is shown that the system is able to compensate multiple failing segments during partial loading.
