Liebherr Aerospace is showcasing a range of solutions for business jets, including a nose landing gear assembly, an air-conditioning unit, and modular electromechanical actuators. The systems will be on display at the National Business Aviation Association’s Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE).
Landing Gear Systems for Safe and Reliable Operations
Liebherr develops, manufactures, and maintains complete landing gear systems. Its portfolio includes landing gear structures, extension and retraction systems, steering actuators, position and warning systems, wheels, brakes, sensors, and cockpit controls. Liebherr’s solutions are used on a wide range of aircraft, including the Embraer Legacy 650, whose nose landing gear will be exhibited at NBAA-BACE.
Air Management Systems for Enhanced Passenger Comfort
Liebherr develops and supplies integrated air management systems that regulate airflow, temperature, humidity, and pressure, contributing to passenger comfort and operational safety. These systems include components for engine bleed air supply and air conditioning, cabin pressure control, air distribution, ice protection, and supplemental cooling.
Liebherr’s solutions are designed for use across different aircraft types and to deliver consistent performance, reliability, and efficiency throughout their service life. The company supplies the integrated air management system for Dassault Aviation’s Falcon 6X.
VOZC System for Improved Cabin Air Quality
Business jet passengers expect high levels of comfort, including clean cabin air. Liebherr Aerospace offers a Volatile Organic Compound and Ozone Converter (VOZC) designed to improve air quality on board.
The catalytic converter reduces ozone and certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air by converting them through chemical reactions. These compounds can include odor-causing substances that may affect cabin comfort.
According to Liebherr, the technology is already in use and is intended to contribute to cleaner cabin air. The system draws on the company’s extensive experience in air management and cabin comfort technologies.
Electromechanical Actuators
Liebherr has extensive experience developing electromechanical actuators (EMAs) for medium- and large-sized commercial aircraft. The company has now expanded its portfolio to include smaller actuators.
Originally developed for the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) sector, the new concept is also suitable for smaller aircraft, business jets, and helicopters.
According to Liebherr, its EMA product family draws on experience gained from millions of flight hours across numerous aircraft programs in which actuators and associated electronics have been deployed over recent decades. This development approach enables scalability for confined installation spaces, a favorable power-to-weight ratio, and high reliability.
