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

The ultimate goal of the project is to take a decisive step forward in the development of proprietary technologies for the production of electromechanical actuators for use in critical aeronautical systems designed for the aircraft of the future, with a focus on the concept of the More Electric Aircraft (MEA). This project contributes to enhancing safety, efficiency, noise reduction, greenhouse gas mitigation, and a reduction in the size and weight of onboard aircraft systems and, consequently, to making the aviation industry more competitive and sustainable.

The AEROEMA project contributes to current research that advocates for a cleaner aircraft. This concept replaces the aircraft’s auxiliary power systems (electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic) with a single, optimized all-electric system. The shift toward a more electric aircraft involves replacing hydraulic actuators with electromechanical actuators that offer the same level of safety and reliability, thereby reducing weight, fuel consumption, and maintenance and production costs.

Improvements incorporated into 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, built with simple hardware to ensure high repeatability. Capable of controlling linear and rotary actuators.

At Skylife Engineering, we lead projects thanks to our extensive experience in integrating advanced technologies and our strong commitment to sustainability in aviation. We work closely with each project manager, applying a rigorous process of review and continuous improvement. This approach ensures solutions of the highest quality—safe and effective—that have a real and lasting impact on the industry.
