An Integrated Control System for Aircraft D-C Generators

This paper describes an electric system for d-c generators used on aircraft that allows physical integration of all control elements normally associated with the control of the generator. The proposed system differs from the present system used by the Army and Navy primarily in that integration has been accomplished in addition to offering automatic control of the generator without a sacrifice in system performance. No attempt has been made to compare this system with present systems. It is the purpose of this paper to describe the individual control elements of the proposed system and to discuss their characteristics.
