STRAERO S.A.

STRAERO is organized as a chartered company which includes main organs that Executive Board and Technical – Scientific Advisory Council also Laboratories, Quality Assurance, Financial and Accounting Management.

The basic research activities performed in STRAERO is organized in:

1. Structure analysis and simulation Dept.

2. Flight control systems analysis and synthesis Dept.

3. Test equipments design for fatigue and vibration Dept.

4. Testing facilities for structure and equipments Lab.

Structure analysis and simulation Dept.

We use for numerical analysis soft such as ANSYS, MSC NASTRAN.

Flight control systems analysis and synthesis Dept.

Test equipments design for fatigue and vibration Dept.

We have the capability to design equipments for static and dynamic testing of aircraft structures. Our team designs the necessary support systems for the structures that need to be tested, according to the sketches of the general assembly, as well as the load introduction systems. The testing structures are mounted on the modular supports, existent in our laboratories. The manufacturing of these structures corresponds to our clients; we do the design and mounting of the general assembly.

We use CATIA for the design of all testing systems, not only to facilitate the interaction with numerical-command machines, but also to analyze the stresses and displacements of the components..

Testing facilities for structure and equipments Lab.

STRAERO operates some structures testing facilities to perform static and dynamic tests which involve complete aircraft(both civil and military such as IAR 827, IAR 93, IAR 99, IAR 46, YAK 52, BN -2 and PUMA helicopter), large structures (such us medium transport aircraft BAC 1-11) and specimens for aeronautical and non-aeronautical applications. A global load is introduced in the structure through a reduction chain for each subassembly (wing, anterior fuselage, posterior fuselage, empennages).
