The fuselage, wings, tail, and other structural components of aircraft must be resistant to challenging conditions such as high stress, vibration, and pressure changes that they will be exposed to during flight. Therefore, comprehensive structural tests are conducted to evaluate the reliability and durability of these components. These tests play a critical role throughout the entire process, from the design phase of the aircraft to post-production. Structural tests analyze how components behave under static and dynamic loads and identify potential weak points.

Structural tests for aircraft are conducted in accordance with the standards established by international aviation authorities. Among these standards, documents published by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency), and ISO (International Organization for Standardization) stand out. In particular, FAR 23/25 (Federal Aviation Regulations) and CS-23/25 (Certification Specifications) are the primary references for structural testing of light and commercial aircraft. These standards also define the performance criteria to be sought during testing.

Structural test systems are used to test aircraft components by simulating real operating conditions. These systems typically measure parameters such as deformation, stress, vibration, temperature distribution, crack formation, and load-bearing capacity. Structural test systems must be capable of performing static load, fatigue, and impact tests. Additionally, it is crucial for test systems to have a modular and scalable structure to conduct tests on components of different sizes.

E2T specializes in developing modular structural test systems fully compliant with international standards for structural testing of aircraft components.
