Fuselage Test of a Small Aircraft According to CS-23 Requirements
Journal Title: Aviation - Year 2009, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
This article describes a static strength test of a fuselage of a small aircraft. Tests were done according to CS-23 requirements. The test program was firstly analysed and then a methodology of the entire test was created and the test could be built. The requirement of the submitter was that the bending and torque moment and shear force had to be as close as possible to calculated loads. This problem requires many loading forces along the length of the fuselage, and we had to solve how to load several tonnes along the 7 meters. For this purpose, a loading tree and rollers were used. The conclusion of this article describes how using rollers with the loading tree changes forces and describes the test arrangement.
