AEROEMA is an industrial research project in the field of aeronautical electromechanical actuation for flight controls.

The ultimate goal of the AEROEMA project is to take a decisive step forward in the development of proprietary technologies for obtaining electromechanical actuators for applications in critical aeronautical systems oriented to the aircraft of the future, focusing on the concept of more electric aircraft (MEA). This project contributes to provide greater safety, efficiency, noise reduction, mitigation of greenhouse gasses and reduction of the volume and weight of on-board systems in the aircraft and, consequently, provide greater competitiveness and sustainability to the aeronautical industry.

The AEROEMA project contributes to current research in favor of a cleaner aircraft. This concept replaces the aircraft's secondary power systems (electric, hydraulic and pneumatic) with an optimized electric-only system. The move to a more electric aircraft involves replacing hydraulic actuators with electromechanical actuators with the same level of safety and reliability, reducing weight, fuel usage and maintenance and production costs.

Improvements incorporated in the design and development of the AEROEMA electromechanical actuator:

• Low power actuation system: a dual motor design with active redundancy has been included.
• Medium power actuation system: the ECU (electronic control unit) is highly reliable, manufactured with simple hardware to ensure high repeatability. Capable of controlling linear and rotary actuators.
