The most recent programs of the European aircraft manufacturer largely reuse the innovative actuation solutions developed for the Airbus A380 through continued evolution of systems, equipment and components: Airbus A400M; and Airbus A350. A major evolution toward the PbW actuation, the Airbus A380 has for the first time introduced electromechanical thrust reversers on a commercial aircraft as replacement for the hydraulic reversers. Given an aircraft's size and the constraints imposed by the weight and the complexity of the systems to be implemented, the designers of the A380 had to conceive new signal and power architectures and develop innovative technologies for their implementation. The evolution of architectures toward all‐electric for the signal or toward more electric for power relates at the same time to the overall level and to the actuator level for the primary or secondary flight control system.
