	It is not at all impossible to produce a constant frequency by
and alternator directly driven by an aircraft engine. I used to fly
in the US Navy P-3 Orion, a Turboprop aircraft. The engines ran at
constant speed and were in fact PHASE LOCKED at the A/C power
distribution phase. They ran alternators that directly powered the
equipment.
