- Abstract
The ranges of temperature, pressure, and humidity, likely to be experienced by aircraft radio equipment, are given. Test chambers to reproduce these conditions in the laboratory are described. The general effects of changes of temperature, pressure, and humidity are then discussed, with particular reference to the problems of flash-over at high altitude across the surfaces of insulating materials together with flash-over between air-insulated conductors at high frequencies and high altitudes.
