A drive system (2) for an actuator comprises first and second motors (4, 6), and first and second input shafts (14, 16) connected to be driven by the respective first and second motors (4, 6). Each of the first and second input shafts (14, 16) comprises a first overrunning clutch (46a, 46b) configured to rotate with the input shaft (14, 16) in a first direction, and a second overrunning clutch (46c, 46d) configured to rotate with the input shaft (14, 16) in a second direction. A first drive gear (60) is configured to be driven by either one of the first overrunning clutches (46a, 46b), and a second drive gear (62) is configured to be driven by either one of the second overrunning clutches (46c, 46d), and an output clutch (64) and an output shaft (18) are arranged to be driven by the first drive gear (60) in a first mode of operation of the drive system (2) and be driven by the second drive gear (62) in a second mode of operation of the drive system (2).
