Abstract :
THE problem of choosing suitable electric systems for aircraft has been the subject of investigation and discussion for many years. To meet general or specialized requirements, the aircraft industry has had to choose between primary a-c and d-c systems. The magnitude of system voltage has been a variable. For the a-c system, a choice must be made between variable and constant frequency, and for the latter the selection of a nominal value and tolerances are required.
