Abstract :
THE proper functioning of electric equipment is of prime importance in the operation of the military and naval airplane of today. The wide use of such equipment and the continual increase in the operating altitude of aircraft make it essential that the factors affecting the operation of electric apparatus at high altitudes be investigated if the apparatus is to be designed properly for this new and expanding application.
