Abstract
In aviation, there is now a dynamic development of aircraft equipment related to the implementation of “more electric aircraft” technology. This concept offers the ability to improve the use of on-board systems, e.g. environmental operating conditions of aircraft jet engine. This technology is named “more electric engine”. It allows the use of magnetic levitation technology at engine turbine shaft bearing. The development of this technology relates to the dynamic change of electronic power systems for civilian transport aircraft, the use of adaptive control methods and new materials in aviation technology. All technologies are improved the environmental operating conditions of the on-board system, e.g. operational flexibility, technological potential growth. [1] In the paper will be presented the TS-21 aircraft jet engine. This engine is modernized in the Jet Engine Laboratory of the Military University of Technology. The paper is presented a digital engine control system, the operating parameters acquisition system and magnetic bearing system. It is described the concept of active magnetic suspension of the turbine engine shaft support. The magnetic suspension technology allows eliminate mechanical bearing arrangements with an oil installation, friction forces and classical, mechanical bearings. The paper contains the simulation and experimental results of a modernized jet engine TS-21.

Summary
In aviation there is developed new trend in aircraft equipment This concept is called “More Electric Aircraft” (MEA) technology. The expansion of electrical machines, power systems and other electric devices are caused increase of demand for onboard electric energy Thanks to this technology, new aircraft are produced less noise, pollution. New aircraft are produced less noise, pollution This idea influences increase of maintenance susceptibility, ensure systems flexibility during modification. New concept of engine bearing system is based on magnetic suspension phenomenon It eliminates mechanical contacts between stator and rotor, and removes negative operating effects such as friction forces, heat and wear, lubrication, heat dissipation, noise, etc.
