Le Bourget Air Show Trends
One of the results of the "Le Bourget Air Show" was the tendency to have more electric actuators on the airplane, instead of hydraulic, fuel-hydraulics or pneumatics!
The other tendency was more carbon fibre material on the airplane, even push-pull rods are made of carbon fibre material!
Cheers

>Rigga ...your point being...?
Electrically actuated brakes,
Lightweight electric actuators instead of hydraulics or pneumatics,
Push-Pull-Rods and Bearing housing made of composite material
See Pictures for more...
Your future job will be more electrician and less mechanic....

The components will still be dirty and still in high places. Mechanical.
Electrons only provide the energy for a motor of an actuator, rotary or linear to perform its mechanical force, unless they now have mass to push.
Does my unrestricted B1 cover me for such things at the moment, yes.
What will change??
The more of a worry is that less things will go wrong, mechanical and avionic.
The good thing is 90% of my work is the effect of friction, or catering trucks, unlike other trades.

easaman,
The trouble is that all these things weigh less if electrics are squeezed through them....and I dont mind not getting "oily" in the future.
..Mind, I dont think I'll be doing those jobs then anyway.
Cheers!

Jumped on the Avionic band wagon years ago, can not go wrong.
As for the air show the largest and most notable trend is Airbus destroying or damaging aircraft. WTF they are on their home turf?
