This paper intends to demonstrate some of the challenges with selection of technology for aircraft actuation system and ease the process through the proposition of a model-based evaluation methodology. This methodology considers comparison of power consumption and cooling needs of electrified- and hydraulic actuators, and is used to study the suitability of the technologies for a fighter jet.
