Functional testing of aircraft landing gear & components

Functional Testing for Aeronautics

Beyond the landing process, aircraft landing gear is subject to a variety of extreme stresses. To meet these challenges, we offer a comprehensive range of testing and simulation options. From the repeatable reproduction of critical operating scenarios to the resilient demonstration of individual functions at their limits, or beyond - our facilities make it possible to understand and optimize complex system interactions. This enables us to create a solid basis for the overall qualification and verification of safety-critical systems, which ultimately helps to guarantee the integrity and reliability of your product.

Our portfolio

Functional testing
Impact testing
We carry out impact tests to check the structural integrity of the components under the highest loads, e.g:
- Bird strike
- hail impact
- tire impact
Functional testing
Shimmy
The stability of chassis under all conditions is essential. We therefore support our customers with the targeted excitation or application of disturbance variables in dynamic operation in order to determine, modify or verify the damping behavior of the chassis.
Functional testing
Steering
The testing and verification of perfect functionality of the steering function of an aircraft landing gear is carried out on our systems in both static and dynamic load conditions.
Functional testing
Brake
We determine and test both the performance data and the characteristics of the brake system of an aircraft chassis on our drum test benches. If necessary, in combination with shimmy excitation and/or the recording of an active steering angle definition.
