This chapter presents the motivations behind the more electric aircraft initiative, with a focus on technological, environmental, societal, and market aspects. The main trends in the development of electrically powered systems for aerospace applications are highlighted, with particular attention to actuation systems. Finally, the state of the art of electro-mechanical actuation systems in aircraft is presented, by describing the design solutions used for their employment in flight controls, landing gears, nose-wheel steering, thrust vectoring control, brakes, and innovative applications.

Abstract
This chapter presents the motivations behind the more electric aircraft initiative, with a focus on technological, environmental, societal, and market aspects. The main trends in the development of electrically powered systems for aerospace applications are highlighted, with particular attention to actuation systems. Finally, the state of the art of electro-mechanical actuation systems in aircraft is presented, by describing the design solutions used for their employment in flight controls, landing gears, nose-wheel steering, thrust vectoring control, brakes, and innovative applications.File in questo prodotto:
