The objective of this program is to develop an integrated power system consisting of a hermetically sealed, maintenance-free, nickel-cadmium battery and associated charge control-charge conditioning unit for aircraft application. The system must be capable of delivering high rate discharges for engine starting, it must be capable of fast recharge to provide emergency power when needed, and it must be compatible with existing aircraft electrical systems. Efforts are aimed at developing reliable means to control battery charging, and to improve battery design and reliability. Design and development of electronic circuitry to condition the aircraft bus to the optimum requirements of the battery, and to control battery charging is being carried out. Efforts are also being directed toward a program to study aircraft electrical systems to determine what problems must be overcome to incorporate the battery-charger system into existing aircraft.
