This chapter deals with hydraulically‐supplied actuation systems from the perspective of power architecture and geometric integration. It describes how their elements are combined together and how they are spatially arranged. The concept of integration extends beyond the geometry aspect. Integration must also satisfy the many requirements and constraints that apply to interactions with the environment and the other systems. The appropriate number and locations of control surfaces are determined, first and foremost, by regulatory aircraft maneuverability requirements depending on the phase of flight (for example, roll rate). It is possible to identify several different levels and solutions for the integration of hydraulic components and equipment in systems (generation/distribution, flight controls or landing gears). Starting from the weaker integration levels, there is the in‐line integration, the manifold integration and the sub‐system integration. For actuators with a mechanical control signal input, geometrical integration must allow the position servo‐loop to be established.
