A hydraulic system is the system in which an incompressible fluid is used for the transfer of energy. An aircraft’s hydraulic system enables the operation of aircraft components such as the landing gear, the flaps, the flight control surfaces and the brakes. The complexity of a hydraulic system varies depending on the size of an aircraft. For instance, a smaller aircraft may only require hydraulic fluid for its wheel brakes. On the other hand, a larger commercial aircraft may require complex and large-scale hydraulic systems. The hydraulic system of an aircraft may be composed of several subsystems in order to achieve the necessary consistency. These subsystems may include actuators & filters; tanks; pumps; valves & spur gears; hydraulic fluids; pressure regulators; accumulators; valves and other (connectors).
Global Aircraft Hydraulic Systems Market Driving Factors and Challenges
The aircraft hydraulic system market is expected to grow over the forecast period due to the increasing demand for extremely unweave systems, low cooling costs due to low heat generation, the higher power to weight ratio of hydraulic systems and their wide range of load handling capacity. The primary driver of the global aircraft hydraulics market is the ever-increasing demand for air travel. As the global aviation industry continues to grow in terms of passenger and cargo demand, there is also a growing demand for more efficient and modern aircraft. As a result, aircraft modernization programs around the world are driving the demand for sophisticated hydraulic systems. Often, modernized aircraft require sophisticated hydraulic systems to meet the latest aviation regulations, enhance performance, and improve safety features. This drives the market for sophisticated hydraulic solutions. Next-generation aircraft (NGOs) are a key driver of the aircraft hydraulics system Market.
Despite this, the market is facing challenges regarding the environmental footprint of hydraulic fluids. As traditional hydraulic systems rely on oil based fluids, the industry is looking for alternative, eco-friendly hydraulic fluid solutions to address environmental issues and meet stringent regulations. In addition, electrically powered aircraft pose a potential threat to conventional hydraulic systems, prompting the search for electromechanical solutions.
