TLG has extensive in-house experience in aircraft testing applicable to all aircraft development and certification stages. Our capabilities and network of partners/suppliers ensure we offer the right-sized solutions to our customers for a range of project scope and complexity. This may be providing test plans and SME/DER witnessing to our customer’s project or offering a complete turn-key test solution.
Structural Ground Testing
Structural modification and new design projects generally require a validated finite element model (FEM) for purposes of certification at a minimum. Model validation can also prove very beneficial in mitigating program risk and accelerating model development timelines. LEARN MORE >
Ground Vibration Testing (GVT)
GVT is an essential tool in dynamic structural modeling and a key step in flutter certification/clearance on any aircraft design or modification. TLG can ensure the testing is done quickly and correctly. LEARN MORE >
Wind Tunnel Testing
Wind tunnel testing is an invaluable tool in aerodynamic development, even with modern CFD capabilities. In many cases, a correctly timed wind tunnel test provides the right environment for more rapid and less costly iteration of aerodynamic design to resolve some of the most difficult aerodynamic problems. TLG’s aerodynamics team is experienced with over 100 wind tunnel test programs. LEARN MORE >
Flight Testing
Flight testing is a complex undertaking. Inexperience can make testing more difficult than necessary and lead to possible re-work. TLG has highly experienced engineers and partners to ensure the right objectives are targeted, quality test plans are available, and the right personnel are involved to simplify the process.
