14. Greener. Hotter. Lighter.
These are just some of the challenges
facing today’s aviation industry.

15. Engines are now required to • Fatigue tests
run at higher temperatures, so • Fracture mechanics tests
predicting fatigue life requires • High temperature tests
innovative techniques such as • Composite materials tests
Thermo Mechanical Fatigue. • NDT for turbine and airframe parts
• Chemical analysis
The increasing cost of fuel • Fire resistance / reaction to fire
and the need for improved • Component tests
efficiencies results in lighter • Nadcap and other OEM approvals
airframes and engines using
the latest composite
technologies.
