Aerospace test system

Developed to satisfy Bombardier’s rigorous approach to test article safety, the test system is comprised of Moog-designed and manufactured products including an active load abort system, an upgrade from a 12 to 24 channel aerospace control and monitoring system, machine controller and structural test actuators with servo valves.

Each actuator is equipped with a specially designed Active Safety Manifold, which forms part of the overall Abort System controlled by either a G761, or a high flow D661 servo valve, depending on the location of the actuator on the wing structure and its specific flow demands.

The Active Load Abort System is a cost effective, independent multi-channel safety system that delivers a new approach to test article safety. In the event of a primary loading system failure, this Active Load Abort System uses a Moog Machine Controller to synchronously unload the structure over a common time period, while maintaining the desired load distribution.

The System will protect the test article preventing undesirable and unrepresentative loading being applied to a unique test article, which has already accrued valuable fatigue testing hours.
