Tests of aircraft and their components
Utilization of advanced engineering methods and state-of-the-art test equipment for experimental analysis, testing, and proof of strength, service life, and resistance of aircraft structures and their parts against fatigue damage and failures, for resistance against impact of flying objects, crashes, and high loading gradients, vibrations, flutter, and other unfavourable aeroelastic phenomena, as well as for proving the heat resistance and heat strength of structures and structural elements forms integral part of the development cycle of aircraft and generally any complex mechanical engineering structures. VZLU has extensive experience and long tradition in the support of development and certification of aircraft and sophisticated mechanical engineering structures and possesses state-of-the-art equipment.
