  • Abstract
    This paper covers all of the systems of power equipment now used or contemplated for supplying power to aircraft radio transmitters. The various types of power equipment are described and the advantages and disadvantages of each type are discussed. The types of power equipment discussed are (1) the wind driven generator, (2) the dynamotor, (3) the main engine driven generator, (4) the auxiliary engine generator set, (5) the combination wind driven generator and dynamotor, and (6) the constant speed main engine driven alternator.
