Fly with a Higher Level of Confidence in Next-Generation Aircraft
Power Next-Gen Defense Aircraft with TE Connectivity Solutions
Modern flight controls combine mechanical, hydraulic, and increasingly fly-by-wire systems to manage flight control surfaces, landing gear, and other crucial mechanisms. As the sophistication of these controls increases, so do the requirements for faster processing speeds alongside smaller, lighter, and more reliable solenoids, sensors, and actuators.
To address these demands, TE Connectivity (TE) supports 6th generation fighter jet programs with:
Comprehensive EWIS Architecture: A comprehensive approach to connectivity solutions and systems for aircraft following an Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) framework.
High-Speed Data & Networking: Cutting-edge data and networking solutions designed to accommodate increasing communication needs while adhering to strict weight and size constraints.
Proven Engineering Heritage: A trusted history of reliable engineering for both commercial and Defense aerospace industries, delivering rugged, altitude- and vibration-tested connectivity for harsh environments.
Driven by geopolitical circumstances, demand in the Defense aircraft market remains strong as governments prioritize modernizing fleets and investing in autonomous, AI-enabled systems. Europe stands out as a key market focused on sixth-generation fighter jets, while defense platforms and governments globally look to extend and optimize existing assets.
The Defense aircraft industry encompasses fighter jets, transport aircraft, helicopters, maritime patrol aircraft, intelligence/surveillance platforms, tankers, and increasingly unmanned aerial systems (UAS), a sector powered by national security priorities, geopolitical dynamics, and Defense spending.
