Cover Story: The use of EMAs for aeronautical applications promises substantial benefits regarding efficiency and operability. To advance the design of power electronics and secondary power supply, there is a strong need for the ability to swiftly study the effects of mission and operational aspects on actuator energy consumption. Pursuant to this, a generic mission-level flight control surface EMA power consumption simulation framework is presented. The core of the framework comprises physics-based EMA power estimators, linked with a six-degree-of-freedom flight dynamics and control simulation module. The developed framework could aid in the selection of the actuator, as well as in the optimization of airborne electronics and secondary power supply. View this paper
