Flight, 5 June 1959 New Com In Poweftonvi MAIN ENGINE STARTING* ELECTRICAL POWS§i#N For Jet Aircraft UNSTANT THE AIRESEARCH CONSTANT SPEED DRIVE STARTER Is a combined constant speed gen- erator drive and pneumatic starter which will provide turbine-powered aircraft with main engine starting and full electrical power both on the ground and in flight. Advantages are: 1. Combines in one lightweight unit pneumatic starting and electrical power. Utilizes starter turbine (which is normally considered as in-flight "dead weight") for con- stant speed trim. 2. Provides full electrical power on ground without operating main engines by using a source of com- pressed air. 3. Provides full electrical power in flight with a minimum use of bleed air for speed correction. Full elec- trical power can be maintained on a non-operating engine by cross- bleeding air from operating engine. 4. The unit can be made self- contained on the ground or in the air by installing an AiResearch gas turbine into the aircraft. This closed system will fulfil the three condi- tions listed above. Other features: Extremely light weight... low oil heat rejec- tion . . . self-contained, self-cooling lubricating system.. .high tempera- ture operation ... constant speed output pad available for additional accessories... sizes from 20 KVA to 90 KVA. A high degree of dependability has been achieved by using a tur- bine, gear train and control system similar to that employed in produc- tion air turbine starters and air turbine motors built by AiResearch which have accumulated thousands of hours of successful operation.
