UAV Wing Load Testing Jig

The UAV Wing Load Testing Jig is a precision structural analysis platform purpose-built for verifying the integrity of UAV wings and airframe components under controlled static loading conditions. Employing the Whiffletree multi-point load distribution method, the system accurately replicates aerodynamic pressure profiles across full-scale or model-size UAV structures, eliminating the oversimplifications of single-point loading and providing results that directly reflect real-world flight loading scenarios.

The system integrates a 15-ton CNC-machined steel frame, high-accuracy strain gauges, LVDT displacement sensors, load cells, and inclinometers into a unified 24-bit data acquisition and analysis workflow. Compliance with EASA and FAA structural testing standards makes the UAV-Lab 500 suitable for both certification campaigns and research programs, while its modular frame and detachable clamping fixtures allow rapid reconfiguration across different UAV geometries and test setups.

Whiffletree Load Distribution

  • Uses a multi-point loading mechanism to evenly distribute forces, mimicking aerodynamic pressures.
  • Adjustable fixtures for custom UAV wing shapes and sizes.

High-Precision Sensors

  • Strain gauges and LVDT displacement sensors measure deformation and stress.
  • Load cells (accuracy: ±0.1% FS) and inclinometers (±0.1° accuracy) for real-time data.

Modular Mechanical Frame

  • 15-ton steel frame with CNC-machined components for durability.
  • Detachable clamping fixtures for flexible test setups.

Advanced DAQ & Software

  • 24-bit ADC with 16-channel data acquisition.
  • Software analyzes deflection, resonant frequencies, and load limits.

Certification-Ready

  • Complies with aviation authority standards (e.g., EASA, FAA) for UAV structural testing.
  • Ensures accurate simulation of real-world load distribution on UAV structures
  • Helps verify design strength, durability, and compliance with certification standards
  • Detects hidden structural weaknesses and manufacturing defects early
  • Facilitates material optimization and weight reduction for better UAV performance
  • Supports scientific research and engineering education on UAV structural mechanics
  • A modular, flexible system allows easy adaptation to different UAV configurations.
