Technologies, makes aircraft power systems. They make "the thing you
never want to see used", a little propeller-powered generator. When
all else is dead, as on the A330, the pilot pulls a lever, a hatch
opens, and this thing drops into the airstream.

Is that a standard thing on commercial aircraft?

I think so.

I suppose they must test them regularly.
