The Ram Air Turbine (RAT) is at the heart of an aircraft’s emergency power system. In extremely rare instances when airplanes lose power, the ram air turbine deploys from the airplane's wing or fuselage and rotates to extract sufficient power from the airstream to control and land the aircraft. The business designs and manufactures hydraulic, electric and hybrid RATs.

Primary power distribution systems (PPDS) and secondary power distribution systems (SPDS) enable seamless control and protection of all electrically powered devices, such as window wipers, fans, pumps, heaters and lights. Power distribution systems incorporate the use of solid state power controllers (SSPCs), which increase the reliability of the aircraft by eliminating lower reliability components. Unlike a centralized electric power distribution systems, distribution units that contain SSPCs can be distributed throughout the aircraft and remotely controlled, allowing them to be strategically located to minimize total aircraft wiring.
