What I don't understand is why aircraft makers don't simply fit 2 alternators, 2 batteries, two buses, and then have diode-fed batches of avionics. That's what the Cessna 400 does, IIRC, and it is very simple. Chance of a total electrical failure is practically zero. The extra weight is maybe 20kg.
They do, its called a multi engined aircraft!
