Static Load Testing

Static Load Testing evaluates the ability of aircraft seats, monuments, and other structures to withstand prescribed flight and emergency landing loads while maintaining structural integrity. ACES performs static testing of seat assemblies as well as larger structures such as galleys, cabinets, partitions, and other aircraft monuments, subjecting structures to ultimate loads to evaluate deformation and demonstrate compliance with applicable certification requirements.

Two aircraft seat structures mounted on a testing fixture with metal brackets, restraint straps, and a central hydraulic actuator for an upward flight load test.
