Analog computer representation of an aircraft electric power generating system

IN THE PROCESS of designing and developing an aircraft a-c electric power system, a state of development is reached where some of the components, due to the present state of the art and the steady-state specifications, have their designs essentially fixed. The analysis of an aircraft a-c electric power system presented in this paper illustrates how time, effort, and costs required to complete the development can be substantially reduced if proper system dynamic performance can be assured prior to the construction of the actual hardware.
