Case Study

Electric Wheel Brake Solution for Dual Use Vehicles

Air

Component Description

Electromechanical actuator designed to replace an existing hydraulic actuation systems on a business aircraft.

What WE DID:

  • Conceived and created a well-defined prototype qualified to the Technical Readiness Level 4.
  • Built and life tested a compliant prototype to support the validity of the replacement decision.

The Environments:

  • Air

The challenge requirements:

  • Price competitive solution with a high-power density, small package size, specified performance, and high reliability in extreme environments.

Our approach:

  • Trade studies were utilized to weigh the benefits of various configurations.
  • Build and prove our analytical results through testing.

The Solution:

  • Created a prototype that satisfies the performance requirements of the application.
  • Ingenium continues work with the client through product analysis, detailed engineering studies, and prototype testing moving toward a fully flight worthy solution.

 

We are inventive, flexible, creative, and adaptive
