Amidst increasingly rigorous regulations and design complexity, fuel system testing is becoming more critical to the reliability, endurance and safety of aircraft. Our industry-leading experts can work with you to design and implement a test program that gives you confidence in your products and processes.
Because of the complicated nature of fuel systems, testing must be performed in-situ with comprehensive test protocols that simulate all of the internal and external forces acting on the system. Using innovative techniques, our laboratories can reproduce and control any condition experienced in normal operation, including fuel icing and hot fuel testing, and can monitor and report on any unusual effects. Our specialists can perform testing on both individual components and complete systems, giving us the flexibility and scale to handle virtually any programs.
Aircraft Fuel Systems Test Methods
We perform fuel system testing while units are operational by conditioning high pressure air, oil or fuel to extremes in temperature while maintaining flow and pressure conditions. We utilize 400HP drives and gearboxes to interface with the main pumps of your fuel system. Our data acquisition and controls can simulate all phases of operation (Takeoff, Cruise, Descent, and Landing), allowing us to provide you with results under real conditions, and make accurate predictions about your product’s behavior and capabilities in the field.
