Component & System Testing

We validate high-complexity assemblies under real-world conditions – structural, environmental, and functional. All in-house. All efficient.

From Simulation
to Real-World Validation

At HEGGEMANN, we conduct full-scale testing and documentation of assemblies in line with aerospace regulations and customer-specific requirements. Located near Paderborn Airport, our in-house test center delivers reliable results – fast, precise, and fully traceable.

  • Structural and fatigue testing
  • Performance and endurance validation from -55°C to +70°C
  • Functional testing under environmental testing acc. to e.g. DO160G
  • Certification support for prototypes and serial production
  • Full documentation i.e. engineering reports, QTP and QTR

Ensuring Quality Through Rigorous Testing

Our testing processes guarantee that every product meets the highest standards. We utilize advanced techniques to ensure reliability and performance.

Structural, Fatigue & Endurance Testing

Aerospace-Grade

We simulate long-term operational stress on components to validate durability, safety, and compliance with certification requirements.

  • Static and dynamic load testing
  • Fatigue lifecycle simulations
  • Performance testing in modular climate chambers (-55°C to +70°C)
  • Flexible test setup for custom components
  • Integrated measurement & monitoring tools
