“The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
Structural and components testing
Wings, blades, fusolages, composit materials… structural testing normally requires fatigue cycles, non-destructive characterization and ultimate load assessment.
Primary actuators, High Lift actuators, Fan nozzle actuators, Landing gears, Brakes, Hydraulic pumps… any component always undergo Fatigue, Endurance and Safety of Flight testing in order to gain homologation.
Ingegneria e Sistemi srl provides equipments for testing both fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft: high performance servocylinders, electro-mechanical actuators, Hydraulic Service Manifold, Active/Passive Load abort manifolds, Power Units, Controllers and data acquisition systems.
Integration test rigs and Iron Bird
When sub-systems of aircraft and helicopter have to be investigated, an integration test rig is required, in order to replicate boundary and dynamic conditions as they work during a real flight.
Ingegneria e Sistemi srl offers high-fidelity metal framework and kinematics to simulate geometry, inertia, stiffness and loads, precise actuation systems both hydraulic and electric, both linear and rotative, which can replicate aerodynamic forces, vibrations and pilot command; Real Time Controllers, connectable to the FCC and SCAS, Data Acquisition Systems and HMI.
