Clutched redundant Rotary Motors for Aircraft Primary Flight Control

Graduate students working on the NSERC RDC program titled: Clutched redundant Rotary Motors for

Aircraft Primary Flight Control will have the opportunity to pursue their respective research projects at

the locations of the two industrial partners supporting the project. Bell Helicopter will accept 5 fulltime

4 months internships and Bombardier will accept 4 fulltime 4 months internships.

The research will develop novel electric actuator system architectures and new clutching technologies

required to develop all-electric aircraft control systems (a very important challenge for the aircraft

industry). In collaboration with industry, interns will develop engineering models and prototypes to be

used in their research work. They will conduct typical engineering tasks such as defining design

requirements, developing analytical and numerical models of complex mechanical systems, designing

mechanical systems and components using Computer Assisted Drawing tools, and conducting

structural analysis with Finite Element Analysis tools.
