This paper covers the development of two piezoelectric actuators for trailing edge flap control on mach scaled model helicopter rotors. The design, analysis and bench tests of these two actuators are described. Under different voltages and frequencies, their drive performances are tested and compared. Results showed that these two actuators all can effectively drive and control the flaps with each advantages and disadvantages.
