FHL has been awarded a contract to develop electro-mechanical main and tail rotor actuators for the EH Industries EH101 helicopter.
FHL (Hall 3, D7), part of the Claverham Group, now owned by Hamilton Sundstrand, will form part of the Helicopter Electric Actuation Technology (HEAT) consortium with AgustaWestland, BAE Systems and the UK MoD. It has embarked on a four-year development project to demonstrate full authority fly-by-wire and power-by-wire technology for the EH101.
FHL's actuators are designed to replace the conventional hydraulic powered flight control actuators on the EH101. The company says the technology will deliver improved capability, while reducing weight and cost.
