Scope
This document provides a brief description of the auxiliary power equipment that is available with enough description and pertinent comments to enable an engineer to make logical preliminary selection of the appropriate equipment for advanced military aircraft programs. The information has been kept as brief as possible to include the maximum amount of equipment in a relatively short document. It is not intended to replace textbook design analysis or detailed information available from the equipment suppliers.
The document describes auxiliary power equipment. Auxiliary power is defined as follows: "Those elements of secondary power [defined as all aircraft nonpropulsive power generation and transmission] related to main engine bleed air and shaft power extraction or power generation separate from the main engines. Included are engine bleed air systems, remote engine driven gearboxes, engine starting systems, auxiliary power units, and emergency power systems." Additional definitions may be found in ARP906A which is the source of this definition.
Some closely related systems which are not discussed in detail, include thermal management, environmental control, electrical, and hydraulic systems.

AE-6 Starting Systems and Auxiliary Power Committee
Welcome to the SAE AE-6, Starting Systems and Auxiliary Power Committee public forum area.
Scope: Devotes itself to aircraft engine starting by electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic means using stored energy sources such as batteries, hydraulic accumulators, solid or liquid propellants, stored gas, or small gas turbine engines. Develops standards for aircraft starting systems. Charter: Establish standards for aerospace and industrial engine starting, auxiliary power, and related secondary systems.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
