Mechanical Systems and Structural Test

  • Mechanical Systems in Aerospace Are Critical

    The foundation of aircraft and space launch technologies is the structures and engines that allow them to take flight. Whether you are an engineer testing propulsion, actuation, or safety systems; a services team member operating a wing or fuselage structural fatigue test rig; or an analyst reviewing satellite test data from a thermal vacuum chamber, the systems you design, validate, and manufacture must ensure the success of the next mission.

Expand Mechanical Test Capacity Faster

We are in the middle of a race to the stars. In a bid to win that race, mechanical and propulsion systems in aerospace are growing more complex. Whether we are testing new materials that have never been used, new propulsion systems that are breaking the norms, or decades-old structures and pumps, let’s design and deploy strain, pressure, temperature, vibration, and other sensor-based test systems faster together.

FEATURED SOLUTION

Architecting a Rocket Propulsion Test System

NI worked with space industry experts to design the Rocket Propulsion Test Architecture to provide a modular, reliable, high-performance solution to the challenges presented by a distributed control system. See how LabVIEW, PXI, CompactRIO, CompactDAQ, and SystemLink improve the way control systems coordinate across a complex operation like a rocket facility.
