General Aerospace GmbH

General Aerospace develops motion control components for aircraft. Its aim is to move parts such as seats and overhead bins safely and comfortably. The company supplies ready to install solutions. It describes itself as a full service supplier for the aviation industry.

The company says its solutions raise flight safety, relieve crew, improve passenger comfort and reduce emissions. Lighter parts help cut weight over time. The company also works with customers on projects, with attention to quality, reliability, schedule and innovation.

Its mechatronic motion control parts offer more function and flexibility than conventional solutions. These work in small spaces. The website says the mechatronic products for overhead bins need very little energy.

The product range includes lift assist units for overhead bins, oil brakes and E-latches. It also includes seat locks called GAs Lox and control cables for seat backs and leg rests. Mini spring actuators move lavatory parts in a damped way. Rotary dampers can be mechanical or electronic.

Primary flight control dampers are made for fly by wire aircraft. They give the pilot pedal feedback for controlled rudder movement. The LAH and HOR struts let one person move and lock heavy engine cowls. Handrails are offered for private jet customers.

The applications on the website include overhead bins, seats, lavatories, the cockpit, engines and stairs. The company is based in Germany, and its website is available in German and English. Job applications are invited through the website.
