Airbus A380
So-called dummy structures are used in the static and dynamic analysis of passenger aircraft in order to channel the operational and extreme loads into the aircraft structure during structural tests.
Our tasks:
Our work covered the entire development process from the initial concepts through detailed static and dynamic calculations to the final production drawings, always taking into account the comprehensive quality assurance requirements stipulated by Airbus.
Helbling Technik developed the dummy structures for the nose landing gear and the engine pylons. The predominant factors in the development work were demanding weight specifications, very high static requirements, and an extremely short time frame for the development process.
