Actuation and control

The ability of a pilot to control and safely fly an aircraft relies on how the actuation and control system operates and allows the aircraft to respond to their commands. Due to the complex nature of the parts and the materials involved, some form of thermal processing is required.

The joining of intricate hydraulic pipes and actuators using thermal processes such as vacuum brazing and electron beam welding enables designers to utilise the latest technologies available to them when designing new components.
