In recent times the aerospace sector has been going through a deep and significant technological evolution. The main manufacturers are moving towards a new design philosophy: the More Electric Aircraft. The goal is to electrify all the utilities and sub-systems of the aircraft driven by a series of advantages such as, for example, an increase in engine efficiency, a reduction in overall weight, better maintainability, lower operating costs and an alignment with stringent environmental requirements. The development of fully electric flight controls plays a very important role in this design concept. Currently, however, electromechanical actuators are used only in secondary flight controls due to a poor knowledge of failure modes.
