Aircraft Motor Control

The aircraft industry is experiencing a steep rise in electrification as hydraulic systems are replaced with fly-by-wire technologies. At the same time, aircraft manufacturers are moving to higher operational DC link voltages to reduce the current-carrying burden on wiring and to reduce aircraft equipment weight. The coming age of all-electric propulsion systems will further challenge requirements such as EMC performance, size restrictions, and weight limits. In this dynamic environment, the need for more capable and efficient motor control becomes a critical path to a successful airframe design.

Astronics is applying our extensive experience in motor control design to meet that industry challenge with a new scalable, high-performance, advanced motor control concept for cross-platform aerospace applications. With our family of motor controller designs, you can control all your motors with fewer unique part numbers in the system, benefitting from consistent programming interfaces and operating parameters regardless of the end application.
