Prior to its maiden flight, every aircraft undergoes a program of fundamental ground tests to ensure safe operation. These include vibration investigations, simulation of the high-level forces and shocks exerted on the landing gear, aeroelastic behavior tests in a wind tunnel and engine testing, etc. These are followed by flight tests, such as vibrational tests focusing on avionics and the aeroelastic stability of the aircraft's control surfaces. Based on our piezoelectric (PE), integrated electronic piezoelectric (IEPE), piezoresistive and other technologies, the measurement solutions for aviation R&D and testing that we offer meet the requirements for every scenario – from small-scale laboratories to the most demanding operational environments. We provide the force, torque, pressure and acceleration measuring chains that are required to fulfill each customer’s needs.
We work in partnership with renowned European, American and Asian aviation industry players. Aviation testing standards associated with aircraft ground and flight applications call for sensor technologies that offer specifications for the most demanding requirements.
