Design Considerations for Electrohydrostatic Actuators
This course is verified by Probitas Authentication as meeting the AS9104/3A requirements for continuing Professional Development.
This four-hour short course will provide an overview of design considerations for electrohydrostatic actuation for transport and business aircraft applications. The instructor will present the critical topics of electrohydrostatic actuation (EHA) from a systems development perspective (V-Approach). Beginning with aircraft system requirements, the instructors will then guide participants through EHA subsystem requirements, component design, component verification test, aircraft integration, and use. Also included will be a short history of the evolution of EHA technology, and an overview of the advantages and system tradeoffs for selection of electrohydrostatic actuation on aircraft.
What Will You Learn
- Describe the evolution of EHA for aircraft flight controls
- Evaluate the unique advantages/disadvantages of EHA in flight control applications
- Establish an awareness of high level aircraft system and requirements for EHA
- Explain basic design considerations for EHA
- Identify unique test and verification methodologies for EHA
- Describe important considerations for aircraft integration
- Evaluate key lessons learned about EHA development and aircraft usage
