Abstract

Rising civilian applications that make use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) demand crucial precautions to minimize safety hazards. Future UAVs are expected to incorporate fault-tolerant architectures for critical on-board systems to ensure compliance with airworthiness certification. Reliability reports of in-service UAVs showed that flight control actuators are among the highest root-causes of UAVs mishaps. In this paper, the current state-of-the-art actuation architectures for UAVs are reviewed to identify technical requirements for certification. This work is part of a TEMA-UAV research project aimed at developing certifiable fault-Tolerant Electro-Mechanical Actuators for future UAVs.
