MULTI-ROTOR AIRCRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM WITH RECONFIGURABLE ELECTRIC NETWORK

In the field of multi-rotor rotary-wing aircraft a propulsion system for such an aircraft includes a reconfigurable electric network for supplying the electric motors driving the rotors. The system includes: a supply source, a supply bus connected to the supply source, at least four drive units each including an electric motor and its control circuit, and an electrical ring network including: an electrical line which is interrupted at each drive unit and whose ends are connected to the supply bus, and, for each drive unit, a first switch and a second switch that are connected between the control circuit and the electrical line, on either side of the interruption.
