Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/mm673w/global_actuator) has announced the addition of the "Global Actuator Systems Market in the Aviation Industry 2014-2018" report to their offering.

The analysts forecast for the Actuator Systems market in the Aviation Industry to grow at a CAGR of 4.53%.

Actuators control a wide range of applications in an aircraft. Almost every movable part in an aircraft has actuators; for example, actuators extend and retract landing gears. They are also used to control and limit velocity and engine speed by adjusting levers and flaps. Different sources of energy such as electric current, hydraulic fluid pressure, or pneumatic pressure that converts energy into motion are used to operate actuators.

The use of new electrohydraulic actuators and electromechanical actuators help in reducing the weight of modern aircraft compared to hydraulic-based systems. There has been a constant evolution of technology and systems such as EMA, EHA, and piezoelectric actuators that are being prioritized.

According to the report, increased number of aircraft is one of the major drivers of this market. Increase in number of aircraft leads to the adoption of more actuators.

Further, the report states that drawbacks of hydraulic actuators, fire hazard, and unexpected faults and reliability issues are the most prominent challenges. Hydraulic systems have several disadvantages such as the occurrence of leakages, loss in performance because of leakages, and increased weight.
