Research abstract
We propose the Phase II development of a revolutionary flight control actuator system for the full range of power from sub-kW to more than 30 kW.The system encompasses the key elements of the actuator, from motor to inverter energy source and control.Its key features include the absence of a gear box, a major increase in its reliability, and its high power density.Its key application is flight control of both large air platform but also small UAVs.Related applications are envisioned as propulsion motors for hybrid cars, ship gates and valve actuators and robotic actuators.
