15 MAY 1959 FLIGHT 33 Another V-bomber switches to constant frequency A.G. by Sundstrand THE HANDLEY-PAGE VICTOR MARK II is the second of Britain's V-bombers to be fitted with the constant-frequency A.C. electrical genera- ting system designed, developed and produced by the English Electric Aircraft Equipment Division. Compared to the rectified A.C. system it has replaced, the English Electric system offers a considerable saving in weight, and also enables a simple and comprehensive protective system to be employed. It is capable of operating for long periods at high altitude with the minimum of maintenance. The heart of the system is the English Electric Sundstrand constant speed drive unit—the only such unit with thousands of hours of flying ex- perience to its credit. If you have a power-supply problem on your drawing-boards, let English Electric do a design study for you.
