Standardising aircraft electrical actuator modular technology

The All-Electric Aircraft is a major target for the next generation of aircraft to lower consumption of non-propulsive power and thus fuel burn. Electro Mechanical Actuators (EMA) must replace hydraulic systems: ACTUATION2015 partners are developing a range of standardised modules for building EMAs and meet cost and reliability requirements from the air framers.

Electrifying aircraft systems is a major target for next-generation aircraft, making a great contribution to increasing efficiencies and decreasing fuel consumption and therefore harmful emissions. Various EU initiatives such as CleanSky, with its System for Green Operations component, have been launched to come closer to this goal.
