SS White provides a set of flexible rotary shafts per LEAP 1-B TRAS that transfer power and enable safe operation during flight and deployment of the thrust reverser actuation systems during landing.
In addition, all aerospace flexible shaft products are designed to one of the industry’s highest performance criteria by utilising a computer modelling software program developed by SS White called Perflexion.
This program allows the design engineers to more fully model the behavioural characteristics of the wire bundles within the shaft core and arrive at an optimum product that provides maximum bending flexibility and torsion strength while allowing minimal torsion deflection with up to a 30% improvement above current industry standards.
