Abstract :
This report presents an early “Proof-of-Concept” prototype for a distributed aircraft actuator controller operable at 155°C. The prototype employs a minimum number of parts and offers features such as ratiometric position sensing and a pulse width modulated valve drive. Test results are also presented and discussed
