About

Boris Grohmann is a leading researcher in aerospace actuation systems, with a primary focus on the transition from hydraulic to electrical actuation for aircraft and spacecraft. His seminal 2006 paper, "New Actuators for Aircraft and Space Applications," which has garnered 53 citations, is a cornerstone in the field, systematically analyzing the shift toward the "more-electric aircraft" concept. Grohmann's major contributions lie in the design and evaluation of electromechanical actuators for critical flight control surfaces, landing gear systems, and braking mechanisms—applications where reliability and weight savings are paramount. His work has directly influenced the development of more efficient, lighter, and maintenance-friendly aerospace platforms, helping to reduce reliance on traditional hydraulic systems. By bridging the gap between theoretical actuator dynamics and practical aerospace constraints, Grohmann has provided a foundational framework for engineers and researchers working on next-generation air and space vehicles. His research continues to shape how modern aircraft achieve greater electrical power integration, making him a key figure in the evolution of aerospace actuation technology.
