Aerospace Actuators 3: European Commercial Aircraft and Tiltrotor Aircraft

This book is the third in a series dedicated to aerospace actuators. It uses the contributions of the first two volumes to conduct case studies on actuation for flight controls, landing gear and engines. The actuation systems are seen in several aspects: signal and power architectures, generation and distribution of hydraulic or mechanical power, control and reliability, and evolution towards more electrical systems.

The first three chapters are dedicated to the European commercial airplan...
