Throttle Control Units for Fly-by-Wire Systems Contact Us
LORD provides fly-by-wire throttle control units (with both FADEC and avionic sensors), integrated auto-throttle quadrants, and auto-throttle modules. LORD can provide fly-by-wire throttle configurations with throttle control sensors, servo-motor modules, auto or passive throttle quadrants and reverse levers with either trigger or piggy-back options available.
With more than 15,000 Throttle Control Units flying - each with a proven MTBF greater than 150,000 FH (often greater than the aircraft life itself) - LORD has the technology, experience and capability to provide a more optimized unit in terms of system weight, cost, aircraft integration, pilot acceptance, reliability and maintainability.
We are accustomed to working with both aircraft and system manufacturers in a collaborative environment. When coupled with our extensive and capable on-site test facility, LORD is able to support all FbW systems requirements, from development to certification, within the program schedule. A range of technology solutions and a flexible design approach enable LORD to provide customized designs. Light panels, sensors, friction level, detent position and load, avionic interface and cosmetic features all can be adapted for each aircraft program.
LORD is both an OEM and MRO solution provider - if you are owner or operator, please visit our MRO Services page.
