In the last decades, electromechanical actuators started to be introduced in transport aircraft for primary and secondary flight control surfaces. Some innovative architectures have been proposed in the literature to use these actuators for high-lift devices (flaps and slats). The state-of-the-art architecture is built with a central mechanical shaft powered by a power distribution unit connected to ballscrew actuators that actuate the flap and slat surfaces. New innovative concepts have the potential to improve the state-of-the-art architectures. However, there is a lack of quantitative results for such innovative architectures. A new methodology is proposed to preliminarily estimate performance and reliability aspects of conventional and innovative architectures. This allows quantitative comparisons to finally be obtained. The methodology is applied to a new architecture that uses electromechanical actuators for flaps and slats, providing results in terms of performance and reliability and comparing them to the current state-of-the-art high-lift devices. Results show that the new architecture is lighter than the reference one and can be more reliable. This is achieved thanks to the removal of the mechanical links among components, which allows each control surface to be deployed independently from the others. This highly increases the operational reliability of the system. Two cases are analyzed, with and without actuator jamming. This provides more realistic results since this failure mode is currently the main reason why electromechanical actuators are not being used for more applications. The innovative architecture outperforms the conventional one in the case where the electromechanical actuators are not affected by the jamming failure mode.

In the recent years, a shift from document-based to model-based approaches is going on within many organizations and industries involved in the development of complex systems. Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methods and tools are in fact gaining more and more popularity due to all their claimed benefits over traditional document-based approaches, including for instance enhanced design quality of systems, clearer development of system requirements and specifications and improved communications within the design teams. However, these benefits can be possible only if recommendations on how generating and representing design information during the development process are made available. The present paper introduces a new model-based architectural framework, i.e. a guideline that leverages a modeling approach for the development and representation of complex systems. More specifically, the MBSE architectural framework addressed in this paper focuses on the system architecting activities of a Systems Engineering Product Development process, i.e. when multiple conventional and innovative solutions of the systems are generated to address all the system stakeholder expectations. The proposed architectural framework aims at fostering the agility of the development of complex systems, in order to streamline, improve and accelerate their architectures definition and modeling through an MBSE approach. The paper provides details of the MBSE architectural framework, including the means to produce and represent all the system development information.
