Actuators controls the movement & mechanism of the aircraft. The aircraft actuators consist of a reduction gear which is used to control the rotating motion. In the aircraft, actuators are used in wide range of applications, such as to control & limit speed of the aircraft by adjusting levers & flaps. Aircraft actuators have ability to withstand ambient conditions such as strong vibrations, heat, and cold. Moreover, several aircraft actuators are used while landing operation of an aircraft. For instance, linear actuators are used to open the gate of landing gear, landing gear lowers its position with the help of actuators, and others. Traditionally hydraulic actuators were used in landing gear; however, with the advancement in technology & reliability, electric actuators are being preferred in modern aircrafts. Above the use of electric aircraft actuators, the piezoelectric aircraft actuators are being used in vibration control & noise control of an aircraft.
COVID-19 Scenario analysis:
- Due to COVID-19 situation, the production of aircraft electrical actuators across the globe has been hampered due to the declared lockdowns and government restrictions on travelling.
- Supply of aircraft electrical actuators parts such as electronic components, position sensors, arresting brakes have been adversely impacted due to COVID-19.
- Government restrictions on travelling due to COVID-19 has adversely impacted the demand for new commercial & private business jets. Thereby, growth of aircraft electrical actuators market has also been negatively impacted.
- Demand of aircraft electrical actuators is expected to rise in near future as travel restrictions start loosen up in few parts of the world.
- Demand for spare parts is also down since there are no requirement from the airlines as many airline’s businesses has been closed due to COVID-19 pandemic.
