N2 - Power devices manufacturers know that electronic devices are susceptible to radiation events. Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) coming from space can interact with the earth atmosphere, generating secondary particles (electrons, neutrons, protons) that can further generate other particles in a cascaded way. When this happen at high altitude, the electronics on-board an aircraft is at risk, because the blocking capability of the semiconductor devices can be momentarily impaired, leading to a single event failure. During solar events The likeliness of such a failure increases and it is related exponentially to the actual voltage across the junction. This paper advocates for a an electrical power distribution system that can adapt its voltage depending on the space weather forecast.
