Requirements
To ensure the continuing safety of the Super Tucano fighter plane it needed simulated stress tests on the structure.
Solution
A rig similar to that pictured above was built by Bombardier’s engineers in Belfast to place cyclic tension and compression forces on the structure used 5 of Synectic Design’s SY035 weight indicators with data logging in a panel to capture the peak forces and output the data to their pc for analysis. This is just one of the innovative solutions that Synectic conceived in discussion with a client.
