Case Study

Horizontal Stabilizer Trim and Roll Boost Actuation for a Captive Carry, Multi-Purpose Vehicle

Air

Component Description

Linear electromechanical actuator for flight control actuation on a multi-purpose vehicle.

What WE DID:

  • Custom designed, built, and manufactured a safe flight control actuation system to provide both horizontal stabilizer trim actuation and roll boost functionality for a unique captive carry vehicle.
  • IE-09 safety requirements and extreme environmental compliance.
  • Low rate initial production.

The Environments:

  • Air

The challenge requirements:

  • Application had numerous, extensive performance and environmental requirements that were equal to or greater than that of traditional commercial aircraft.
  • System must be qualified such that no single event could cause catastrophic structural separation.

Our approach:

  • Methodical approach to requirement definition and analysis.
  • Partnered with our customer to ensure that all safety and environmental requirements were understood and met.
  • Utilized unique architecture to achieve safety level compliance.

The Solution:

  • An electrically and dynamically simple system with structural redundancy to ensure that no single failure could cause catastrophic structural separation.

 

We are inventive, flexible, creative, and adaptive
