SLAT and FLAP Motor Control Electronics
What is a SLAT / FLAP Motor Control Unit?
The certified flap actuator control unit from Silver Atena provides reliable motor control electronics for SLAT and FLAP systems in modern aircraft.
Designed according to RTCA DO-254 DAL B and RTCA DO-160 standards, the ECU controls the high-lift system which ensures increased lift, delayed stall, and safe flight behavior during takeoff and landing.
Features
- Electric operation of the leading or trailing edge wing flaps (SLAT/FLAP)
- HV control of electrical pressure off brake (ePOB)
- Hardware developed according to civil aviation standard RTCA DO-254, Design Assurance Level (DAL) B
- Qualified for environmental conditions according to civil aviation standard RTCA DO-160
Applications
- Modern flight control systems with electric actuators
- Replacement of hydraulic landing flap systems
- High-lift systems for civil aircraft
- Integration into existing and future aircraft platforms
