Aircraft Power Transfer Units

Abstract

AS hydraulic systems in modern military and commercial aircraft continue to grow in size and complexity with practically each new aircraft introduced, many aircraft manufacturers are turning to the use of power transfer units to help hold down overall hydraulic system weight and complexity. A power transfer unit allows transfer of hydraulic power from one system to another without transfer of hydraulic fluid (Fig 1).
