  • Abstract
    The feasibility of a variable-speed constant-frequency generating system for a supersonic transport airplane, having a service life equal to that of the airframe, is examined in the light of supersonic transport requirements and of the history and present development status of VSCF systems for subsonic airplanes The paper outlines work that should be done in order to increase the likelihood of achieving this goal.
