Electric automatic pilots for aircraft
Electrical Engineering, 1944AUTOMATIC pilots have been in use for many years in both commercial and military aircraft and are well suited to normal airplane control. Their greatest usefulness is in maintaining heading and attitude over long periods of time, with consequent reduction in strain on the human pilot.

Plastics in aircraft electricity
Electrical Engineering, 1944SYNTHETIC organic plastics for electrical insulation represent one of the important contributions of the plastics industry to modern military and commercial aircraft. These materials for the most part are not used as substitutes for more suitable but scarce insulating materials, but have been selected because they possess superior mechanical and ...

Electrical machines for aircraft
Proceedings of the IEE Part A: Power Engineering, 1956The electrical machines used in aircraft differ greatly from normal industrial machines because they must have the lowest possible weight and bulk, but must be capable of operating over a wide range of ambient temperature and air pressure at varying altitudes.

Requirements for aircraft electric motors
Electrical Engineering, 1944DESIGN requirements for electric motors intended for use on aircraft maybe classified roughly into performance and construction. These two classifications are not completely independent of one another, as some of the construction requirements will have pronounced effect on the performance characteristics, Performance characteristics may be subdivided ...
