At the heart of every more-electric system is the electronics control unit, providing innovative command and control through closed-loop feedback networks. Whether in primary or backup mode, the world’s new aircraft are increasingly adopting electric flight control actuation – which is why we’ve created a family of adaptable, scalable controllers. Our family of adaptable and scalable controllers, critical to the more-electric trend being adopted by the world’s new aircraft, is proven and flying today.

Our pedigree

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.

Our leadership

We have taken a leadership role with our system of electrohydrostatic actuators (EHAs), used to power primary flight control surfaces on aircraft including:

  • Gulfstream 400 to 800
  • Global 7500 and 8000
  • A220
  • COMAC C919

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.
