High reliability is an absolute necessity in the changing world of civil aviation. Providing safe travel around the world requires cutting-edge electronic solutions that support flight crews in an intuitive manner. This extends from the cockpit to the external flight control system which, until recently, was still primarily dependent on manual interfaces and hydraulic systems. Power resistors have helped aircraft designers overcome this enduring pain point to gradually replace many functions of manual flight controls with high-reliability electronic interfaces.
Power resistors are extremely robust components designed to withstand large amounts of power and dissipate undesirable electrical energy with a compact device footprint. This is essential in aircraft where space and weight capacity are at a premium.
