AC frequency wild power

I am wondering if in a frequency wild aircraft system can you connect AC wild in a series/parallel or a purely series connection????

To parallel AC feeds, they must first be in phase, which implies constant frequency.

Thus, to parallel wild sources is nonsense!

yeah you'd make the alternators a little crazy---think, two out of synch crankshafts connected to a single flywheel,..the closest mechanical analogy I could think of
