Next Generation High Lift System
Lead Participant:
GOODRICH ACTUATION SYSTEMS LIMITED
Abstract
UTC Aerospace Systems is a leader in the provision of advanced systems to the aerospace market. The funding
opportunity will allow the consortium, comprising of UTC Aerospace Systems, Renishaw, Sagentia, Newcastle
University and the University of Nottingham to develop new technology for advanced aircraft wing systems to
support future aircraft programmes which directly benefit the UK.
This project, the Next Generation High Lift System, is based around an innovative system architecture that will
enable the following objectives to be realised: Support efficient integration into the wing through reduced
parts, thus reducing aircraft build time; Reduced loads transferred to interfacing aircraft structure, thus
enabling reduced structural component weight / size and corresponding reduced fuel burn; Low Weight
Actuation System using innovative gearing architecture; SMART system with increased health monitoring
capability to allow airline operators to predict maintenance needs; Minimise system weight through the use of
new manufacturing techniques and materials.
The lessons learnt will be transferred to other areas of the UTC Aerospace Systems global market business.
