Preparation by AIEE of an informative report dealing with the fundamental characteristics of aircraft electric systems and including lections on general system layouts, system voltages and frequencies, power supply, utilization and conversion devices, distribution systems and cable circuits, control switching and protective devices, and fault-current calculations has been decided upon. This decision was reached at meetings held in September and October in New York and at Wright Field in conjunction with the Society of Automotive Engineers, the National Aircraft Standards Committee, and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association.
