Testing for excellence
Parker SPD offers its customers the advantages of more than a decade – and tens of thousands of hours – of in-depth system rig and aircraft ground and flight test experience.
Iron bird rigs
Our experts begin by defining the types of system tests that are to be performed on customer test rigs. We then perform complete systems testing, correlating our analysis results with ground and flight test results. Our fully automated iron bird rigs include complete hydraulic systems integrated with landing gear, steering, brakes, flight controls, and thrust reverser systems, duplicating actual aircraft conditions as closely as possible for accurate results.
Aircraft ground and flight testing
Parker Aerospace also has significant experience supporting on-site flight testing. We routinely perform both ground tests and flight tests to demonstrate system performance and compliance with airworthiness regulations. Parker Aerospace engineers define the tests to be performed, and assess and report the results.
