[ What is claimed is:] [2.] A method for operating a hydraulic supply system of an aircraft including a variable displacement swash pump having a swash plate, said variable displacement swash pump driven by a variable speed electric motor, comprising the steps of:operating said variable speed electric motor at high speed with said swash plate at full displacement when said hydraulic supply system requires a high fluid flow for maintaining system pressure;reducing said variable speed electric motor speed and said swash plate at reduced displacement when said hydraulic supply system requires a low pump flow;sensing said swash plate displacement; andcontrolling the speed of said variable speed electric motor in a continuous and gradual manner in response to said sensed swash plate displacement, wherein the speed of said variable speed electric motor is increased or decreased at a rate slower than a rate at which said swash plate is being displaced.
