tests of uas and their components
Experimental analysis, testing, and verification of structural strength, durability, and resistance of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and their components are crucial steps in developing these modern technologies. Advanced engineering methods and state-of-the-art testing equipment are employed to evaluate UAS resistance to fatigue damage, impacts from flying objects, crashes, vibrations, flutter, high load gradients, and other adverse aeroelastic phenomena. VZLU has extensive experience, a strong tradition, and top-notch equipment, making it a key partner in supporting the development and certification of UAS.
We offer
- Static and fatigue testing of UAS airframes, components, and structural joints, including combined tests with temperature and humidity effects.
- Static pressure testing for structural strength verification.
- Testing landing gear and its components, focusing on reliability and durability.
-
Measurement of deformations and mechanical stress during operation.
- Impact resistance testing against flying objects, such as Bird Strike tests or hail impact tests.
- Crash tests and testing under higher load gradients
- Ground Vibration Testing (GVT) for assessing the dynamic characteristics of structures.
- Modal and vibration tests, including Operational Modal Analysis (OMA), to ensure stability and reduce the risk of resonance.
