Novel actuation systems are driver of product innovation in aerospace industry. In aircraft industry EHA technology has been recently introduced illustrating the stream of innovation directed on improving performance, reliability, as well as economy. On the far side there is the radical concept of a morphing wing which offers optimizing the aerodynamics of an aircraft considerably by shape control. Rotor Active Control utilizinmg piezo actuation has been proofed to be very successful for vibration and noise reduction in helicopter flight test inspiring confidence in smart structure technology. In Space, new technologies meet both extreme and various requirements. This is especially true for actuators noting that some heavy trends (more active optics, complex instruments, robotic missions, micro-satellites) demand small & smart actuators. So new actuators such as magnetic actuators, Shape Memory Alloys, Electro Active Polymers and even more piezoelectric actuators have been selected for a growing number of space missions for these last years. The goal of the presentation is to enlighten new actuator developments driven by Space and Aircraft needs
