International aviation is a major component of the globalised economy and a field of growth. The European aviation industries look upon us as their strategic partner for the qualification of their products.
For more than 45 years we have been testing the strength and endurance of aircraft and individual subassemblies. In our halls they have to survive several thousand flights without damage long before they can enter into regular operation with the airlines. This is the case for jumbo jets as well as for aeroplanes used in general aviation and for military aircraft.
We will also be involved in the extensive series of tests for the revolutionary Airbus A380 widebody: with the biggest-ever complete airframe fatigue test in the history of our company.
So much trust and confidence is placed in us with good reason. Right from the start of the development work on Airbus we have been involved as a partner in all the Airbus programmes so far. With our unique expertise and our trend-setting experimental technique we are Europe’s leading test and qualification enterprise for the aeronautical industry. |
