Abstract
An engine bleed air system for providing air to an aircraft system includes a port for extracting bleed air from a compressor section of an engine. The system additionally includes a turbo-generator having a turbine and a generator. The generator is driven by rotation of the turbine. A boost compressor is fluidly coupled to the port. Bleed air from the port is selectively provided to one of the turbo-generator and the boost compressor based on a demand of the aircraft system.
