Aircraft with 24v power supply

[Torn]

Can anyone provide me with single engine aircraft with 24v power supply? I have been searching google and it apprear's as if the C-206 and C-207's do? is that correct? Can anyone confirm or add any they know of.

Thanks,

i think that most aircraft run on 24vdc system.

I think so too - less/smaller/lighter cabling required.

Most Cessnas mid 70s onward... for good cranking too. C-182, 185, 206, 207, 210 etc. The Beaver as well.

On the 206's, 207's and 210's that I have experience on, they were all 12/14 volt systems.

If you have ever lifted an original Beaver Battery, or an Otter battery, you'd think they were 96 volts...

From what I recall, Cessna switched to 28 volts in the mid to late seventies on all their singles. These days, most airplanes manufactured since then are 28 volts. I don't think I've encountered any 28 volt Cherokees though so I'm not sure what happened with the piper line but their newer twins were 28 volts. I think the old Apaches and Aztecs were 14 volts.

One main advantage of the 14 volt systems was the commonality with automobile electrical parts. Not much of a factor anymore though.

There of course are still alot of the older 14 volt airplanes around. And there are even a few "no volt" Citabrias and J3s etc. around!
