Traditionally, electrically powered actuation has been used to control the flaps, as well as the trim on the primary flight surfaces and horizontal stabilizers. Parker’s pedigree is well established, supplying all or some portion of the electrically powered actuation systems on Embraer’s ERJ 135/145, Phenom 100/300, and the Embraer 170/190.
We have taken a leadership role with our system of electrohydrostatic actuators (EHAs), used to power primary flight control surfaces on aircraft including:
As the more-electric trend continues, Parker is committed to staying at the forefront of the demand by making the necessary investment now to ensure our more-electric technology is production-ready when needed.
