The Aircraft Testing Laboratory is one of the departments of the Institute od Aerospace Engineering, where it deals with:

Proof verification tests of aeronautical structures – the testing laboratory is authorized by the Civil Aviation Authority No. L-3-040/9 to perform proof and verification tests of airframe structures according to CS and FAR regulations.

Fatigue tests – design and execution of fatigue tests of samples and structural units (wing, airframe, etc.).

Materials testing – material testing of specimens, environmental testing of composite materials (heat, moisture).

Measurement of mechanical quantities – measurement of mechanical quantities by electrical means up to 172 channels and sampling frequency up to 250000 samples per second with the possibility of synchronous recording by a high-speed camera.

Strain and stress analysis – stress or strain analysis of mechanical assemblies or samples using Pontos and Aramis non-contact optical systems.

In-Flight Testing – In-flight testing of aircraft using wireless data transmission system, impact testing; basic frequency analysis.

The test facility is equipped with a large amount of measurement equipment for testing and research in the field of fatigue or material properties, fully equipped with universal fixtures ensuring a fast build. The staff has extensive test design know-how, so they can provide the desired outputs and also have knowledge and orientation in aerospace standards CS, FAR but also ECSS.

The test facility has been involved in certification of both Czech and foreign manufactured aircraft and has extensive experience in the preparation of the most complex experiments.
