Innovative solutions by Liebherr at NBAA-BACE 2024

Liebherr-Aerospace's presence at this year's NBAA-BACE demonstrates that the company is ready for the business aviation industry’s challenges, which are characterized by an all-embracing transformation process.

Many years of experience in the design and integration of environmental control and thermal management systems, flight control and actuation, landing gears and in the field of signal and power electronics make Liebherr an indispensable partner to aircraft manufacturers.

Leader in the development of electromechanical actuators

Liebherr-Aerospace has always been a leader in the research and development of electromechanical actuators (EMA) for medium to large commercial aircraft. Now the company is also adding smaller actuators to its portfolio.

An all-new modular approach addresses business jets, helicopters, and specifically the emerging AAM (Advanced Air Mobility) sector. Liebherr's small EMA concept benefits from the experience gained through millions of flight hours in numerous aircraft programs with actuators and associated electronics over the past decades.

The development approach offers scalability for small installation envelopes, a favorable power-to-weight ratio and high reliability.

Air humidification systems for enhanced travel comfort

To avoid a low relative humidity level on board (less than 5%), Liebherr offers an air humidification system that constantly monitors and keeps the level between 20% and 25% at room temperature of around 20 °C to 24 °C. Human organs sensitive to air dryness are not stressed during flight. The system has multi-zone humidity control capability and is easy to maintain.

On the way to model-based enterprise

In addition, digital means are revolutionizing the way Liebherr designs, builds and maintains aircraft systems. On its way to becoming a model-based enterprise, Liebherr is driving the transformation of the entire company to a data centric organization. This will improve collaboration and efficiency throughout the whole product life cycle.

The Liebherr-Aerospace Team is looking forward to welcoming customers, operators and partners from around the world at its booth to discuss trends in the business aviation industry including aftermarket activities.
