Constant frequency a-c electrical equipment, consisting of hydraulic constant speed drive powering a-c generator, has been developed by Sundstrand Aviation for business aircraft applications; system can provide significant weight savings over other types of electrical systems and same high reliability and growth potential that has been realized on larger military and commercial aircraft since 1946; weight savings that can be attained is particularly appealing when aircraft includes auxiliary power unit that can be used to provide power for pneumatic or hydraulic main engine starting; this eliminates need for heavy d-c starter/generator and results in lower overall aircraft weight.
