Modern aerospace systems are marvels of engineering. Their amazing achievements are due in large part to software, yet relatively few project personnel, especially project management staff, understand or appreciate the significance of it. The lack of understanding and attention to software often dooms large aerospace projects to significant delay if not outright failure. As a motivation, severa...

Today’s aerospace assembly is a huge manual task according to strictly controlled instructions, where different operators are responsible for different areas. This harmonizes with the overall lean approach, but the assembly is very time-consuming and some tasks are not ergonomically friendly, such as assembly tasks inside a wing box. Here, it could be possible to increase automation with the ai...

The electro-mechanical actuators are used in aerospace vehicle is used for attitude control of vehicle. Actuators used in aerospace vehicle require very accurate positioning accuracy, high dynamic requirements. Hence the actuator design in aerospace vehicle is very critical and plays very important role in total performance of the vehicle. The actuators are to be designed very compactly with hi...
