21G / 26G Dynamic Testing

21G / 26G Dynamic Testing evaluates aircraft seating and restraint systems under the demanding dynamic conditions associated with emergency landing scenarios. Through full-scale sled testing and prescribed G-force configurations, seat and restraint systems can be evaluated to demonstrate compliance with applicable aircraft certification requirements under 14 CFR § 23.562.

ACES provides dynamic test witnessing and engineering support throughout the testing and certification process, with access to a nearby full-scale sled testing facility that helps streamline test coordination and reduce unnecessary travel and delays.
