This book is the second in a series of volumes which cover the topic of aerospace actuators following a systems-based approach. This second volume brings an original, functional and architectural vision to more electric aerospace actuators. The aspects of signal (Signal-by-Wire) and power (Power-by-Wire) are treated from the point of view of needs, their evolution throughout history, and operational solutions that are in service or in development. This volume is based on an extensive bibliography, numerous supporting examples and orders of magnitude which refer to flight controls and landing…mehr
This book is the second in a series of volumes which cover the topic of aerospace actuators following a systems-based approach. This second volume brings an original, functional and architectural vision to more electric aerospace actuators. The aspects of signal (Signal-by-Wire) and power (Power-by-Wire) are treated from the point of view of needs, their evolution throughout history, and operational solutions that are in service or in development. This volume is based on an extensive bibliography, numerous supporting examples and orders of magnitude which refer to flight controls and landing gear for various aircraft (fixed or rotorwing, launchers) in commercial, private and military applications. The topics covered in this set of books constitute a significant source of information for individuals and engineers from a variety of disciplines, seeking to learn more about aerospace actuation systems and components.
Jean-Charles Maré is a Professor at Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA), Toulouse, France. He holds a degree in mechanical engineering from INSA and a doctorate from Université de Lyon, France. He teaches mechanic and fluid power systems with special focus on architecture design and system-level modeling and simulation. In charge of research activity at Institut Clément Ader in Toulouse, France, he has created a team working on embedded actuation systems and components. His expertise includes preliminary design, virtual prototyping, and testing of safety-critical actuators for aerospace applications. Since the early 2000s, he has been a regular contributor to numerous research projects dealing with more electric actuation for aerospace. He is a member of the SAE A-6 technical committee, the author of Aerospace Actuators, a three-volume book series, and chair of the International Conference on Recent Advances in Aerospace Actuation Systems and Components (R3ASC) that he initiated in 2001.
