Yes I work on 400Hz air craft power generators and they are all 3-phase.
I could run single phase off a 3 phase alternator but I would be giving up a lot of power by not using all the power that can be produced by of the copper in the stator. That is bad because it takes a lot of power to weld aluminum.
