    The document compares the electrical systems of traditional airplanes and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The traditional airplane has one generator per main engine and one on the auxiliary power unit, while the 787 has two generators per engine and two on the auxiliary power unit. The 787 also has 17 small electrical substations providing local power and its power feeders run to the aft electrical bay rather than the front. This architecture reduces wiring and allows better electronic control throughout the airplane.
