Aerospace systems: simple, light & smart

Project: Lightweight Actuators for Aviation (LuLA)

Lightweight construction is an essential part of value creation in the aviation industry. At the level of automated systems, there are comparatively fewer opportunities for weight savings. The basic physical principles of an electromagnetic system leave little scope for significant weight reductions, which is why innovative ideas for expanding functions in the passenger cabin are not implemented due to the additional weight. are not implemented due to the additional weight. With the LuLA – Lightweight Actuators for Aviation project, our industrial consortium aims to develop shape memory actuators in accordance with applicable aviation regulations into holistic actuator systems in the passenger cabin. For this purpose, several application scenarios for safety applications will be developed and validated. will be developed and validated.
