Electric Primary Flight Control Actuators

• Qualified for airborne applications as a bleed air overheat detection system, and will be introduced in all future Airbus A350 aircraft.
• Reduces the total number of components with 90% and the weight by 80% compared with present system.
• Actual measurements of the temperature with a very high temperature and spatial resolution, not only reacting to a set alarm threshold.
• A state of the art, cost effective system to measure temperatures in multiple positions of an aircraft structure.

Fibre-optic sensing technologies have the potential to provide a novel solution that acquires multiple measurements such as strain, pressure and temperature along a single wire. Compared to existing technologies, this low-weight integrated solution could offer higher temperature and accuracy within the harsh operating environment of an engine. Such advanced measurement systems compliment the journey to the Intelligent Engine and enhanced data driven engine services.

Saab and Rolls-Royce are undertaking a joint research programme into fibre-optic sensing technologies for aerospace propulsion systems. Known as Project FibreSense, this collaborative research programme between Rolls-Royce and Saab will develop and demonstrate fibre-optic sensing technology for aerospace propulsion systems
