ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS IN SUPERSONIC VEHICLES

With the advent of vehicles into the supersonic regions of flight electrical equipment will be required to operate in new and greater environments. Some of these environments, such as temperature, have considerably increased in magnitude while other environments such as acoustic noise, can be considered as a new environmental requirement.

These new and greater environmental conditions are presenting tremendous problems to the electrical equipment and installation designers the relative magnitude of some of these problems is such that new inventions, discoveries, and equipment development techniques must be employed in order to permit the vehicle to perform its intended mission.
