Compact and Reliable Electronic

integrated in Actuators and Motors

A European Project supported through the Seventh Framework Programme


for Research and Technological Development

Todays challenges
The current political, environmental and economical trends in the field of air transport are leading in the
future towards the All Electric Aircraft (AEA). The goal of this concept is to eliminate as many hydraulic
power sources and complicated circuit of high-pressure hydraulic lines as possible and provide Power By
Wire (PWB) to supply electrical actuators.
Reliable electric actuators are one of the technical bottlenecks for realizing this ambitious technological vision
of AEA. One of the real challenge for the implementing PWB actuation is the development of compact, reliable,
electrically powered Electro-Mechanical Actuators (EMA) located in harsh thermal environment for most
actuation applications (flight control actuators, braking system, landing gear actuators, propulsion inverters,
various pumps, various auxiliary actuators).

cream objectives
CREAM project objective is to reach new high performance and reliability capabilities of Electro-Mechanical
Actuators (EMA) in harsh thermal environmental conditions ready to use in all-electric aircraft.
Provide high power density and compact
characteristics of electronics modules integrated
in actuators or motors (reduction by a factor 2 of
the electronic volume and mass).
Provide advanced new concept of thermal
management of the electronic platform allowing
higher performances and reliability
Provide high temperature and compact motor for
actuators (reduction of 30% of the motor volume
and mass)

Integrate the new electronic and motor platform


in actuator housing and a very severe thermal
environment (above 200C) providing efficient
thermal management.
Provide validation of aeronautic reliability in
high temperature at least at the same level than
existing hydraulic systems (50.000 hours), and even
better (100,000 hours) with health monitoring
functionality.

cream impacts
CREAM project will help the European aeronautical industry to remain competitive in the challenging
aeronautic market.
The technological outputs of CREAM project will lead to further economic impacts through its reliable EMA
actuators in harsh thermal environments . It will impact our daily life by:
reduced operational cost for maintenance
(induced by higher performances and reliability),
benefits of overall weight reduction,
