Description du projet/ Project
Description
The project will study the feasibility
of using clutched hyper-redundant geared
motors to replace traditional hydraulic
actuators for primary flight controls of
aircrafts. The research will study
clutching technologies as well as system
architectures through simulations and
experimental work.
Objectifs/ Objectives
Global:
• Develop new actuation technologies
for Canada’s aerospace industry;
• Establish reliable collaborations
between Canadian universities and
Canadian aerospace industry;
• Form highly qualified people in the
flight control field to meet industrial
demand.
Project specific:
• Develop appropriate system
architectures for redundant geared motor
electromechanical actuators;
• Develop reliable and high power
density clutching technologies.
