Systems expertise.
Ingenium engineers have designed and developed electric power generation, more electric aircraft, emergency power, actuation, pump and hydraulic, and gearbox systems for commercial, military and space programs.
Electric power generation.
Ingenium engineers have participated in and led many electric power generation design and development programs over the last 30 years including at both Ingenium and former employers. These have included commercial and military programs, and primary and secondary electric power systems. We have experience working with most of the airframe OEMs including Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Bombardier, and Gulfstream.

More electric aircraft systems.
Ingenium staff have been engaged in the development of core electric aircraft technologies for many years. The team is experienced in the design and integration of MEA enabling products from power generation to electrical loads.
Electric Power Generation and Distribution
MEA solutions require power generation configurations optimized for the mission profile. This may dictate a total battery powered system or a large power hybrid integrating turbine powered AC generation with battery supplied DC.
Our expertise in the design and development of AC & DC generation systems is used to achieve an optimum solution. This experience includes large scale power levels and high voltage systems.
Electric Power Distribution
Our team is experienced in the design and development of AC and DC distribution systems for military and commercial aircraft. This includes specifications and electronic packaging design of electromechanical and solid-state distribution units.
System Integration
MEA architectures are enabled by the growing capability of electrically driven subsystems. Ingenium has substantial experience in the design and development of these various systems. Examples of these systems include:
- Electromechanical primary and secondary actuation
- Electrohydraulic actuation
- Electric powered pumps
- Electric propulsion motors
Emergency Electric Power
The provision of emergency electric power has been well established with Ram Air Turbine technology. Ingenium is well versed in the design and development of RAT products.
Emergency power.
Our engineers’ experience with ram air turbines (RATs) for emergency power applications is unparalleled. These specialty turbines provide emergency electric and hydraulic power for vital aircraft systems, such as flight controls and flight critical instrumentation, in the case of both primary and auxiliary power source failures. When the lights go dark, you can count on our RAT design to bring back the power.
