Overview
Objectives:
This proposal encompassed the development and supply of high performance power electronic converters. These units were able to control the electrical machines used to actuate the main rotor swashplate of a medium sized rotorcraft. The power converters formed an integral part of the fault tolerant actuation system. Castlet developed and supplied an innovative solution to this requirement that meet or exceeds the project teams expectations.
