Most modern aircraft engines use magnetos to generate
the spark, magnetos are useful in aircraft because:
They produce a hotter spark at high engine speeds than
the battery system used in automobiles.
They do not depend on an external source of energy
such as a battery, a generator, or an alternator.
Self reliable,less weight.
