Static and Dynamic Structural Tests

Structural testing is essential for the development and certification of aircraft to ensure efficient and safe operation during future flight missions. We cover the entire testing pyramid, conducting tests and analyses on complete aircraft structures and subsystems down to individual components, elements and material samples. Our focus is on fatigue and strength.

Our testing capabilities span all categories of civil aircraft to military fighter jets. In addition to our experimental facilities and computational simulation capabilities, we offer a unique combination of experiment and analysis, backed by over 60 years of expertise.

• Fatigue Tests
  • Fatigue testing on complete airframes, subsystems, components and parts
  • Assessment of damage tolerance behavior, crack initiation and crack growth

• Static Load Tests​​​​​​​
  • Static load testing on complete airframes, subsystems, components and parts, including under thermal load
  • Determination of deformations, stiffness, fracture strength and fracture behavior

• Residual Strength Tests

• Additional Structural Tests​​​​​​​
  • Aging
  • Corrosion
  • Wear
