Aerospace Control Systems

Controls for Aerospace Systems

Marotta Controls has been a supplier of high-performance motion control and aerospace flow control products to the industry for more than six decades. We specialize in compact, lightweight aircraft control systems designed specifically for airborne and ground service applications.

Our aerospacecontrol systems include a variety of qualified hardware, electronics and software to provide motion and flow controls for a diverse range of applications.

To support evolving aerospace platform requirements, Marotta integrates advanced design methodologies such as model-based systems engineering (MBSE), environmental simulation, and rigorous qualification testing throughout the development lifecycle. This approach ensures that each control system performs reliably under extreme conditions, including high vibration, temperature variation, and pressure differentials, while also meeting stringent aerospace standards for safety, redundancy, and fault tolerance.

Our aerospace controls deliver the precision and high performance that are essential for critical applications. Whether for commercial passenger jets or Navy combat helicopters, our equipment provides dependable, reliable control in situations where there is no margin for error. As one of the leaders in aerospace systems parts manufacturing, our solutions can be found in radar systems, bomb rack interfaces and many more avionic systems.

We’re proud to be one of the top mission-critical aerospace components manufacturers, and we have the credentials to prove it. We have more than 75 years of experience serving the United States Air Force as well as decades of service for NASA. We’ve earned a leadership position within the global aerospace market because we’re committed to providing the highest levels of quality and performance in the aerospace motion control and aerospace actuation systems we provide.
