Static and Dynamic Structural Tests

Structural tests are essential for the development and certification of aircraft to ensure safe and efficient operation throughout their service life. We cover the full scope of structural testing, from complete airframes and subsystems to individual components, structural elements and material samples. Our focus is on fatigue and structural strength.

Our testing capabilities include all categories of civil aircraft as well as military fighter jets. In addition to our experimental test facilities and advanced simulation tools, we offer a unique combination of physical testing and analytical expertise. This integrated approach is based on more than 60 years of experience.

• Fatigue Tests
  • Fatigue testing on complete airframes, subsystems, components and assemblies
  • Evaluation of damage tolerance behaviour, crack initiation and crack propagation

• Static Load Tests​​​​​​​
  • Static load testing on airframes, subsystems and components, including under thermal conditions
  • Measurement of deformations, stiffness, fracture strength and failure behaviour

• Residual Strength Tests

• Additional Structural Tests​​​​​​​
  • Ageing
  • Corrosion
  • Wear
