Global military aircraft actuation systems market outlook
According to Technavio's global military aircraft actuation systems market analysis, the industry is envisaged to witness steady growth and will post a CAGR of close to 3% over the forecast period. The rising demand for actuators is one of the primary factors driving the military aircraft actuation systems market growth, globally. Stringent government regulations and increasing complexities in military aircraft specifications has led to the continuous development of actuation systems, which are used for efficient aircraft operation. For example, the engine nozzle actuation system in the F-15 Eagle offers optimum thrust control. Therefore, the military aircraft actuation systems market forecasts that the increasing adoption of actuators in military aircraft is anticipated to spur the growth prospects of this market in the coming years.
In this industry research report, the analysts have estimated factors such as the development of autopilot landing system to propel this market’s growth prospects in the near future. Autopilot landing systems enable secure landing of aircraft, during turbulent weather conditions and blurry vision. The autopilot landing system is also used in airports facing rough climatic conditions. With the increasing application of computers in landing systems, different parameters such as altitude, airspeed, heading, and distance can be monitored and measured seamlessly by the autopilot to ensure safe landing of the aircraft. The increasing usage of autopilot landing system to ensure safe aircraft landing and reduce human errors will contribute to the growth of this market until the end of 2020.
Segmentation by system and analysis of the military aircraft actuation systems market
- Hydraulic
- Electric
- Pneumatic
During 2015, the hydraulic actuators segment dominated the market and accounted for more than 39% of the market share in terms of revenue. Hydraulic actuation systems have different functions in narrow-body military aircraft and wide-body military aircraft. An actuator system can deliver high power without consuming too much space or weight, and has helped pilots in undertaking mechanical tasks by utilizing less amount of energy. Since these systems do not consume electricity, the chances of shocks or fire hazards are limited. Due to their reliability and power density, hydraulic actuation systems are envisaged to have an augmented demand over the next four years.
