As I understand it, some aircraft have to maintain an artificially high flight idle during descent purely to keep the generators from stalling them!
Very Wrong

[quote][As Already pointed out, the genny's are mostly running at 30% load, yet the engine is sized for the full power output and could therefor be smaller giving drag benefits and efficiencies. /QUOTE]

The fuel flow is reduced for a given gen load. The gen load is a very small factor.

Oil is running out, so the quicker we find a way to get our power from something else the better
Glum - you just got glummer
