Abstract
THE NECESSITY for much greater cranking power to start aircraft jet engines has led to problems radically different from those encountered in starting reciprocating engines. Although early considerations indicated no promise for the use of electrical means to start aircraft jet engines, the development of the constant-current power supply characteristic has completely changed the original evaluations.
