The Highly Availabe, Redundant Actuation Systems project directly addresses five topics within this call, encompassing areas of technology for more electric aircraft, and specifically targeting Unmanned vehicles and their electrical actuation systems. Of priority within the program is to investigate the development of high availability, fault tolerant electrical actuation solutions suited to emerging Unmanned Vehicle Aircraft. An example is a flight control surface which most notably has a requirement for combined functionality (such as combined aileron, elevator and rudder) with restrictions in maximum component diameter, but available space across the length of the surface. The programme's output will be a demonstrator that is anticipated to be suited towards an aircraft of MTOW 7,000-10,000 kg that will provide a basis for development in technological areas such as fault-tolerance, health monitoring, advanced motor design, and maintenance-free (for life) fitting. The project will last 3 years duration and will be managed by a consortium, comprising of Electric Actuation, Motor and Linear Transmission Specialists.

The Electro-Mechanical-Magnetic Actuator Systems (EMMAS) project aims to create safer, quiter, more-reliable electro-mechanical actuator designs, containing electronics suitable for extreme environments (wide temperature ranges, and high vibration). These actuators will be vibration resiliant, have capacity to thermally regulate, require less maintenance, and be resistant to ‘jamming’ when permanently or temporarily overloaded. All aspects of the actuator design process will be evaluated throughout the program. The main program topics include the development of control strategies and drive electronics, investigation of using novel magnetic gearing technology to replace a conventional motor and gear train, and full system analysis of electro-mechanical performance. The objective of the project is to advance technology capability within electro-mechanical actuation, with a key focus on increasing reliability, safety and passenger experience.

Highly Efficient & Reliable Electric Actuation (HEREA) is a project that will strive to undertand the the factors that limit the reliability of current electric actuation that prevent its use in landing gear application on commercial airliners. Reseach will be carried out into technologies that can be applied to bridge the reliability gap and make it possible for electric actuation to be used to operate landing gear. The ultimate goal is to make it possible to eliminate the need for hydraulic systems on commercial aircraft which provide a significant weight saving. For a 170 seat single aisle aircraft it is has been shown that up to 500kg can be saved. This represents a potentail annual fuel saving of £40,000 and a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of around 140 tons per aircraft. This represents a significant contribution to the reduction in the environmetal footprint. The genral public will benefit from a greener aircraft and possibly reduces fares as operating costs through fuel and reduced maintenance times are realised by the operators. The project will executed & exploited in the UK which will ultimately benefit the UK ecomonmy and help secure employment.

The SPEARE project aims to introduce the more electric aircraft concept into the landing gear systems for small/medium sized aircraft. By substituting the hydraulic actuation system for an electrical equivalent the will result in a significant weight saving. Incorporating technology that measures forces on the actuation system will enable the design to accurate react against the loads it will be subjected to. Combining the functionality of key components on the landing gear and designing the electronics for more than one use will also aid in weight reduction. The works aims to benefit small/medium aircraft with medium to long flight duration, as the weight of the landing gear has a significant effect on the aircraft fuel economy. This system has no functionality when the aircraft is airborne. The project is gaining a variety of skills and knowledge by incorporating several industrial partners to help develop this technology.
