Zusammenfassung:A latch apparatus coupled to an aircraft component can comprise a latch assembly moveable between unlatched and latched configurations, an actuation system coupled to the latch assembly and operable to move the latch assembly from the latched configuration to the unlatched configuration, the actuation system including an electromagnet assembly magnetically coupled to the latch assembly, and a control system operably coupled to the electromagnet assembly. The control system can be configured to magnetically uncouple the electromagnet assembly from the latch assembly to cause the latch assembly to move from the latched configuration to the unlatched configuration. Related methods are also provided.
