The CoE is home to a new state-of-the-art, modular and scalable test facility designed to facilitate innovation in aircraft actuation system design, testing and certification. With a more streamlined solution, elecTRAS supports the elimination of actuation hydraulic interfaces and fluids and facilitates a 15-20% reduction of the nacelle actuation weight at the integrated aircraft system level. Wolverhampton's advanced testing capabilities simulate real-world conditions for aircraft components, actuators, subsystems, and full systems. By integrating early-stage test results into system analysis, potential issues are resolved quickly, reducing delays and enhancing distinctive design scalability for future applications. \"Our Engineering Center of Excellence reflects RTX's commitment to delivering innovative, efficient and cost-effective solutions for the aerospace industry,\" said Ajay Mahajan, president of Advanced Structures at Collins Aerospace. \"This unique modular approach supports the industry's...",
