- Zero-emission flying through electrification has accelerated the demand for the development of more all-electric technologies. Therefore, powered-by-wire smart and redundant actuators are becoming more broadly deployed to improve maintainability, reliability, survivability and manoeuvrability of the future all-electric aircraft. This paper focusses on addressing one of the main possible problems in torque-summed electromechanical actuators, that is, the possibility of force fighting between mismatched lanes and drift in feedback transducers. The paper presents clear analysis of how this could be realised through the application of force equalization onto an actuator that was designed to drive the inner-board aileron control-surface of the sea-harrier.
