Beaver to highlight innovative electromechanical actuation technology at AUVSI Unmanned Systems 2011
|
August 1, 2011
Livonia, Michigan – Beaver Aerospace & Defense, Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacturing of unique and broad-range actuation technologies, will highlight its electromechanical actuation technology at AUVSI's Unmanned Systems North America 2011. With Beaver's innovative electromechanical actuation technology, aircraft manufacturers can eliminate hydraulics, which increases reliability and reduces weight and maintenance.
Beaver's award-winning electromechanical actuators and ball screws are found on some of the most advanced aircraft, missile applications and mission-critical space exploration systems in the world, ranging from the Global Hawk UAV to the B1 Bomber. Back in June, Beaver announced contracts with Piper Aircraft and Sky Aircraft to provide its electromechanical flap actuation system for the PiperJet Altaire and Skylander SK-105.
In addition to actuation design and manufacturing, Beaver provides expert repair, overhaul and testing services for all electromechanical actuation systems and ball screws. Beaver is also recognized as the industry leader in on-time delivery, with current performance exceeding 99.8%, and is a 2010 Boeing Gold Supplier.
"Beaver's electromechanical actuation technology offers tremendous reliability and convenience over hydraulic systems," said Jason Ratcliffe, General Manager of Beaver Aerospace & Defense. "They are well-suited for demanding applications, like unmanned missions."
AUVSI's Unmanned Systems North America event is being held August 16-19, 2011 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Beaver Aerospace & Defense will be exhibiting in booth 2138. To learn more about the event, visit http://www.symposium.auvsi.org/auvsi11/public/enter.aspx.

Beaver Aerospace & Defense to supply electromechanical flap actuation system for the Skylander SK-105
|
June 27, 2011
Livonia, Michigan – Beaver Aerospace & Defense, Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacturing of unique and broad-range actuation technologies, announced today that it will supply the electromechanical flap actuation system for the Skylander SK-105 aircraft. Conceived by Sky Aircraft, the Skylander SK-105 is a next generation twin turboprop, designed for flexibility, reliability and economy. Sky Aircraft is a GECI Aviation company, which is a subsidiary of French-based GECI International.
CS23/FAR23 certified in the commuter category, the SK-105 is the ideal utility transporter servicing remote areas with exceptional range between fuelings, short take-off and landing distances and the capacity to exploit unpaved runways. Capable of operating in difficult climatic conditions and hostile environments, the Skylander maximizes payload and flight range to satisfy the growing needs of developing and isolated regions.
Beaver Aerospace & Defense designs and develops electromechanical actuators (EMAs) for customers whose applications are rigorous, environment is demanding, and with short schedules and low cost targets. Earlier this month, Beaver announced an agreement with Piper Aircraft to supply its flap actuation system for the PiperJet Altaire.
“Beaver is excited about the opportunity to work with Sky Aircraft and GECI Aviation,” said Lee Pichan, Sales Director at Beaver Aerospace & Defense. “The flawless performance of our electromechanical actuators, along with our industry-leading on-time delivery, made this relationship a win-win situation.”

June 6, 2011
Livonia, Michigan – Beaver Aerospace & Defense, Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacturing of unique and broad-range actuation technologies, will supply the flap actuation system for the PiperJet Altaire single-engine business jet. According to the contract, Beaver is responsible for the design, engineering, certification and production of the electromechanical flap actuation system.
The PiperJet Altaire has gained significant appeal in the very light jet (VLJ) marketplace for its speed, range and payload, which outperforms twin-engine jets in its category. The aircraft also includes additional cabin height and width that rivals, and in many cases surpasses, the interiors of the largest twin-engine VLJs.
“Beaver is excited to work with the visionaries at Piper Aircraft,” said Lee Pichan, Sales Director at Beaver Aerospace & Defense. “This is the second Beaver actuation system to be included on the PiperJet Altaire.”
In 2010, Beaver Aerospace & Defense was selected by Mecaer Aviation Group (MAG) to provide its groundbreaking electromechanical landing gear actuator for the PiperJet Altaire.
Beaver Aerospace & Defense will be exhibiting at the 49th International Paris Air Show at the Le Bourget Airport in Paris, France, from June 20-26, 2011 in Hall 3 stand B158.
