  "textContent": "A configurable electrical architecture for an eVTOL aircraft having a takeoff and landing power mode and a cruise power mode. The configurable electrical architecture includes a power-optimized power source including a high-power battery array and an energy-optimized power source selected from a plurality of interchangeable energy-optimized power sources including a high-energy battery array, a hydrogen fuel cell system and a turbo-generator system. A distribution system is electrically coupled to the power-optimized power source and the energy-optimized power source. At least one electric motor is electrically coupled to the distribution system. In the takeoff and landing power mode, both the power-optimized power source and the energy-optimized power source provide electrical power to the at least one electric motor. In the cruise power mode, the energy-optimized power source provides electrical power to the at least one electric motor and to the power-optimized power source to recharge the high-power battery array.",
