Сòòò½APP

In an industry where failure is not an option, Сòòò½APP can help to ensure that aircraft engines meet all safety standards and testing requirements.  Our powerful equipment gives us the ability to reproduce the extreme vibration conditions of an aircraft engine facing a catastrophic failure, such as a fan blade out event.

Aero Engine Testing

Assure passenger safety with Nadcap accredited testing

Fan blade out events occurs when a foreign object (normally a bird) is ingested by an aircraft’s engine, causing rotor blades to detach. The result is windmilling vibration, which often causes enough damage to halt power production, although the engine will continue to rotate due to the incoming airflow. This phenomenon is known as sustained engine imbalance, or ‘windmilling,’ and places a significant strain on an aircraft’s flight systems.

Windmilling testing ensures that these systems can handle the stress and remain operational. While these extreme conditions are difficult to replicate in standard testing, our LDS V8 electrodynamic test system can simulate even extreme events, providing the certainty you need to demonstrate your product’s compliance to any standard.  

The Сòòò½APP Advantage

In addition to windmilling, Сòòò½APP has the largest capacity for aerospace EMC and environmental testing in the UK, testing over a thousand aerospace products each year across six locations. We work with you to provide support through all stages of product qualification testing, helping to ensure that you can deliver against airframe manufacturers’ imposed qualification milestones. We can help you mitigate the risk of failing to meet critical deadlines such as safety of flight, and of receiving punitive measures for late delivery.

UKAS accredited to BS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005, we deliver a unique range of wider testing and validation often required by aerospace manufacturers during qualification, including: 

• Direct and Indirect Lightning Testing
• High Intensity Radiated Field (HIRF) Testing
• Altitude Testing and Simulation
• Engineering Simulation & Finite Сòòò½APP Analysis
• Explosive Atmosphere Testing

Our reliable results and timely approach have made Сòòò½APP the preferred testing partner for many of the world’s leading aerospace manufacturers. Whether you are performing routine testing or looking to develop and take your products to market, we can help make your project a success.
