Aeronautics
Aircraft testing is embedded in our corporate DNA. The qualification of entire aircraft or individual components through strength and functional testing has been a core part of our business since our foundation.
Our extensive expertise combined with state-of-the-art testing infrastructure, positions us as the leading testing organization for European aircraft manufacturers. For example, since 1973, we have collaborated with Europe’s largest aviation group, Airbus, testing every series from the A300 onward.
Aviation has revolutionized travel, now we are pioneering the future of flight. Together with companies within the IABG Group and other partners, we are developing innovative solutions for safer and lower-emission air travel. Our efforts range from designing new engine concepts to realizing electrically powered aircraft—all while maintaining our unwavering commitment to the highest safety standards.
For the qualification of complex systems, we provide tailored solutions in the areas of testing, simulation, analysis and engineering.
We are a Trusted Partner of the Aviation Industry
