Keywords: electromechanical actuator, preliminary design, nose gear steering, scaling laws, reliability

This paper describes an innovative method for the development and testing of an electromechanical actuator for a nose gear steering system allowing automatic on-ground guidance. The proposed method generates, optimizes and evaluates all the acceptable architectures in a single and automated process with special consideration to mass and reliability.
