One of the most important criteria for judging the suitability of aircraft equipment is weight. It is important both to the aircraft designer, who must meet the performance guarantees economically and to the user, who must get maximum utilization of the airframe capabilities. This paper presents a method of weight analysis to more accurately assess the weight of aircraft constant frequency electrical generating equipment. The method presumes common performance requirements for all systems compared, and equal skill on the part of the component designers. Conventional and Variable Speed Constant Frequency generating systems are examined in some detail to determine the installed weights for an aircraft application.
