For how many minutes can the batteries provide 200 amps during flight?

To determine how long the batteries can provide 200 amps during flight, it is essential to consider the specifications of the battery system in a Dassault Falcon 7X. Typically, the aircraft is equipped with lead-acid batteries or similar technology that has a defined amp-hour (Ah) rating.

The crucial calculation involves determining the total capacity of the batteries in amp-hours and then converting that capacity into a time duration at the load of 200 amps. For example, if the batteries are rated at 140 Ah, you would divide the available capacity by the current draw:

• 140 Ah / 200 A = 0.7 hours

To convert hours into minutes, you multiply by 60:

• 0.7 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 42 minutes.

However, this figure indicates how long the total capacity could last if fully drained, which isn't a realistic scenario, as you would not typically want to fully deplete the batteries to maintain their longevity and reserve power.

Using standard operational procedures and guidelines, especially regarding the Falcon 7X, it is generally advised that the batteries should provide power for approximately 7 minutes under a high load like 200 amps. This is critical during certain phases of flight where auxiliary
