The strapdown inertial navigation unit and digital autopilot have been integrated with the control actuation system (controlled by an on-board computer). The position servo system, which has developed to be suited for digital control, is still the primary rudder system. The majority of the rudder system can function when the control plane is in an anti-manoeuvring state, and the speed requirement of the steering engine is also appropriately decreased.
There are still several different and conventional types of steering engines. The big missile’s primary steering engine is hydraulic, and its secondary steering engine employs air cooling. Small missiles employ both gas and electric steering engines at once.
The electric steering engine has been evolved from tiny missiles to large missiles, especially shipboard air defense missiles, and meets the needs of unitized missile-borne energy. Electro differential techniques make up the majority of control plane differential schemes, whereas mechanical differential is rarely used.
The Global aircraft engine control actuator market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
To address the precise flight control requirements of eVTOL aircraft, Honeywell is utilizing its vast experience with electromechanical actuators. In contrast to the hydraulics, cables, and pushrods found on the majority of traditional aircraft, it has been announced that the actuators will only employ electricity to operate the principal flight control surfaces. According to Honeywell, they will be able to make hundreds of microscopic adjustments per second, enabling accurate control of cutting-edge fly-by-wire designs. They were specifically created to meet the vibration, power, and weight profiles of eVTOL aircraft.
Electromechanical actuators will become more crucial for main flight control in new eVTOL designs where weight will be especially important and heavy hydraulic flight control systems impracticable.
