Abstract :
The increased demand for variable-frequency a-c generating systems on present-day aircraft calls for the development of adequate generators and their controls in order that the advantages of these systems may be fully realized. The requirements are good voltage regulation, exciter stability over the required speed range, and general reliability in operation under the various environmental conditions experienced in military aircraft service. Several such generators and their controls have been developed and tested.
