The paper summarizes the results of the Airplane Actuation Trade Study. The study, conducted in three phases, included establishment of two airplanes (a Baseline Airplane and an All-Electric Airplane) and a trade study of the two airplanes including quantitative comparison data of weight, reliability and maintainability, and life cycle costs. The Baseline Airplane would utilize hydraulic actuators for the actuation functions and hydraulic as well as electric power extraction from the engine. The All-Electric Airplane would utilize Electromechanical (EM) actuators and have only electric power from the engine. A qualitative assessment was made of the two designs with respect to structural integration, growth capability, survivability/vulnerability, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)/lightning, environmental constraints, and technology risks.
