Abstract

The invention relates to a power distribution architecture for an aircraft for powering aircraft electromechanical actuators, the architecture comprising at least one power distribution member for distributing power to such and such an electromechanical actuator connected to the architecture, the architecture receiving power from at least one power supply bus of the aircraft. According to the invention, a DC network of voltage that is variable in controlled manner is interposed between the power supply bus of the aircraft and the power distribution members.
