Existing approaches to electrical power system (EPS) design for electrical propulsion aircraft assume a starting point with a comprehensive set of baseline requirements. This paper presents a safety-driven methodology to capture baseline requirements for a new concept aircraft with minimal initial design criteria, and translation of these requirements into a resilient EPS architecture solution.
