The Lateral – Directional Trim Actuator (LADITA) is a linear electro-mechanical actuator, providing linear motion during both extension and retraction, against a tensile or compressive load and consisting basically of an electric motor, including its control logic, and a reduction gearing that transforms the rotation movement into linear motion of the actuator rod.

It is installed in parallel to the roll axis mechanical link, upstream the aileron servo actuator.

That is also installed in parallel to the yaw axis mechanical link, upstream the rudder servo actuator. Main features are:

– power supply 28 Vdc

– nominal speed 1.3 mm/s

– max external load 1200 N
