Abstract As the aerospace sector aims to decrease its greenhouse gas emissions from historical levels, vehicle lightweighting is seen as key to achieving meaningful reductions in the sector. Shape memory alloy (SMA) materials have been shown to have extremely high work density that, when applied in an actuator, can yield significant weight savings compared to electric motor and hydraulic powered alternatives.
