About
Thomas Lorkowski is a leading figure in aerospace actuation systems, with a career dedicated to advancing the electrification of aircraft and spacecraft. His seminal work, "New Actuators for Aircraft and Space Applications" (2006, 53 citations), has become a foundational reference in the field, directly supporting the industry-wide shift toward the "more-electric aircraft." Lorkowski’s research focuses on developing high-performance electrical actuation systems to replace traditional hydraulic actuators in critical applications—including flight control, landing gear, and braking systems. His contributions have been instrumental in improving efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in aerospace design. By bridging the gap between theoretical innovation and practical implementation, Lorkowski has helped shape modern actuation technologies that are now integral to next-generation air- and spacecraft. His work continues to influence engineers and researchers working to reduce aircraft weight, maintenance, and environmental impact.
