Structural Testing

  • Box Level test
  • Component level test
  • Half wing test
 

Box level test

 The tests cover design aspects such as thick / large cfc skins, complicated spars, liquid shimming, special fasteners.  the specimens tested are fuel tank sealing, buckling, outboard pressure, wing root fitting and elevon test boxes

Component level test

static tests are conducted on wing, fin, rudder, drop tanks, under carriage, main landing gear door, etc and the results are used for flight clearance. a self-equilibrating loading system is used to simulate inertial and aerodynamic/aero elastic loads. a whiffle tree arrangement is used to distribute the loads appropriately

Half Wing Test

  • Specially designed flexible loading Rig used for   testing
  • Compression loading trees for  wing skin
  • 1000 Channels of  data acquired
  • Extensive use of  safety features like load limits  & micro switches for deflection controls.
