Kaney-STTR-USAF

Kaney Named STTR Recipient for USAF Program

: Nov 11, 2020 - : 6:27 pm

The United States Air Force has selected Kaney for the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program through AFWERX. The program will develop critical flight surface control actuation technologies aimed at urban air mobility (UAM) and advanced air mobility (AAM) for civilian and military air platforms.

Work will be performed by Kaney teams in Rockford, IL and Dayton, OH.

As part of the contact, Kaney will develop a family of robust, reliable servo actuators with a common base and modular features to meet the unique needs that result from non-standardized flight profiles. Kaney will develop and integrate a unique magnetic gear technology developed by its STTR. The technology will be integrated into the company’s Smart Servo product line, over 5,000 units of which are in service on military and commercial aircraft.

Kaney’s Smart Servo technology will be advanced to enable Skyborg and low-cost attributable air platforms (LCAAT/LCAAPS) in addition to ORB and AAM/UAM platforms supported by Agility Prime.

Kaney actuators are on test aircraft and iron birds for both new vehicle designs and type-certified aircraft being modified.
