As sustainability gains significance in the aviation sector, the development of next-generation on-board systems is becoming increasingly vital. While significant progress has been made in recent years and many milestones have been reached, the development of these systems is still an ongoing process. To accomplish this objective, the aviation industry is transitioning away from the use of hydraulic systems by replacing them with electromechanical alternatives. The focus of this master's thesis is the development of the control algorithm for an electro-mechanical actuator, used to replace the hydraulic pistons currently used in general aviation aircraft's braking systems. In this particular implementation of the braking system, the actuator is driven by a brushless DC motor controlled by a motor driver that interfaces with a microcontroller.
