In recent decades, the continuous evolution of flight control technologies has sparked a growing interest in implementing more electric systems within modern aircraft. This thesis aims to address the issue of electromechanical actuation for secondary flight controls, with the goal of facilitating the transition towards a more electric aircraft configuration. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the research area, the thesis begins by presenting a general context on flight control design and the ongoing developments in this field. The increasing demand for enhanced performance, efficiency, and reliability has driven the exploration of more electric aircraft concepts. Within this context, the utilization of electromechanical actuators has emerged as a promising avenue for achieving the desired objectives.
