Stuttgart, Germany — Liebherr-Aerospace will participate in The eVTOL Show Europe 2026, taking place on February 12, 2026, in Stuttgart, reinforcing its commitment to the rapidly evolving Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) sector.
At Liebherr eVTOL Show Europe 2026, the company will exhibit its latest modular actuation technologies and contribute to the conference program with expert insights into flight-critical systems for next-generation electric aircraft.
Showcasing modular actuation for eVTOL aircraft
Visitors to the Liebherr booth will learn more about the Liebherr Versatile Control and Actuation System (LiVCAS®) — a modular, scalable, and certifiable plug-and-play solution designed specifically for eVTOL applications.
LiVCAS® enables:
- Accelerated time-to-market through predefined modules
- Flexible scalability for varying aircraft architectures
- Simplified integration into electric and hybrid platforms
- Compliance with stringent certification requirements
The system forms part of Liebherr’s broader “more-electric” portfolio, which replaces traditional hydraulic systems with lighter and more energy-efficient electric solutions. This approach supports the industrialization of safe and reliable urban and regional air mobility.
Conference presentation on flight-critical EMA systems
During the conference program, Joachim Bihr, Chief Engineer at Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH, will deliver a technical presentation focused on modular electromechanical actuator (EMA) architectures for the AAM market.
His session will examine:
- Development of flight-critical actuation systems for autonomous eVTOLs
- Integration of actuators into avionics and flight-control systems
- Built-in redundancy strategies to meet safety objectives
- Weight optimization and installation-space constraints
- Certification, scalability, and full-rate production challenges
The presentation will also highlight how close collaboration between suppliers and aircraft manufacturers is essential to meeting regulatory requirements while scaling production efficiently.
Proven EMA expertise applied to emerging markets
Liebherr has established itself as a leader in the development and production of electromechanical actuators (EMAs) for medium and large commercial aircraft. The company’s new generation of smaller actuators expands that expertise into:
- Advanced Air Mobility platforms
- Smaller fixed-wing aircraft
- Business jets
- Helicopters
The EMA family concept builds on decades of operational experience and millions of flight hours across multiple aircraft programs. This foundation enables scalable solutions optimized for:
- Compact installation spaces
- High power-to-weight ratios
- Long-term reliability
Strengthening its role in Advanced Air Mobility
The eVTOL Show Europe is recognized as a leading networking hub for the European eVTOL community, bringing together OEMs, suppliers, regulators, and technology providers.
By participating in Liebherr eVTOL Show Europe 2026, the company underscores its strategic focus on enabling the next generation of electric and autonomous aircraft through modular, certifiable, and production-ready actuation systems.
