Side note as I was an Electrical Engineer at Boeing on all the commercial airplanes.

Plane runs on both AC and DC.

AC runs at 400hz instead of 60hz. This allow more RMS value and lets you uses much smaller transformers on board.

DC bus on the aircraft is 28 VDC, and uses Lipo Batteries on new generation 777 and 787 programs
