  • Abstract
    Fundamental characteristics of the three-phase induction motor are reviewed with respect to their possible application to aircraft. A brief review of present motor specifications is presented, and test data are given on the operation of an induction motor with one or two lines shot away. Common types of motor loading are discussed with reference to the suitability of induction-motor drive for each. Curves are presented to illustrate the characteristics of motors and various types of loading.
