Abstract
An aircraft including a first electrical distribution busbar and a second electrical distribution busbar extending at least in part in a fuselage of the aircraft, in a longitudinal direction of the fuselage. A first electric generator is connected to the distribution conductors of the first electrical distribution busbar via a first coupling switch directly connected to the first electric generator and to the distribution conductors of the first busbar. A second electric generator is connected to the distribution conductors of the second electrical distribution busbar via a second coupling switch directly connected to the second electric generator and to the distribution conductors of the second busbar. The first coupling switch and the second coupling switch are positioned in the aircraft independently of one another.
