Background
As a distributed actuator, Pressure Adaptive Honeycomb (PAH) has been shown to reduce aerospace actuator system weights by as much as 80% as it eliminates the need for many hard points.

Aerospace Seating Applications

I.Business & First Class seats have between 2 and 14 actuators of different stroke and force capability. II.Replacement will yield a weight saving of between 1 and 16lb per seat
@ $750-$1,500/lb 787LCCsavings = $425-$850k
unclassified
III. Honeycomb used for crash energy absorption easily satisfies FAR 25.562

High Lift Mechanisms:

Conventional Flap Systems
Conventional actuators = heavy Not adaptively aerocompliant = no gust load alleviation Not capable of negative section lift-curve slope generation No advantage in V-n diagram gust peak alleviation No ride quality improvement, aeromechanics enhancement and fatigue load alleviation Load concentration drives weight, increases complexity, cost

Conventional Actuators in new (22 year old) Conventional Adaptive Wing Concept:
Conventional actuators = heavy Not adaptively aerocompliant = minimal to adverse gust load alleviation optimization Not capable of negative section lift-curve slope generation No advantage in V-n diagram gust peak alleviation No ride quality improvement, aeromechanics enhancement and fatigue load alleviation Load concentration drives weight, increases complexity, cost Zone 1 lightning strike untested
