Structural Testing for UAVs and Space Components: From Ultra-Low Temperatures to High Heat, From Vacuum to High Pressure

Hosted by Weiss Technik GmbH, specialists in environmental simulation and climate chambers, and featuring Structures MTS Systems Corporation, experts in advanced structural testing, this webinar explores how integrated testing ensures reliability for UAVs and space components under extreme conditions.
We’ll show how Weiss Technik’s chambers replicate ultra-low/high temperatures, altitude, and vacuum environments, while MTS solutions enable static and fatigue testing, Iron Bird system integration, and multi-axis vibration testing. Together, these technologies support qualification campaigns aligned with aerospace standards such as RTCA DO-160, ECSS, and MIL-STD.

Topics include:
• Iron Bird testing for system-level validation

• Static and fatigue load strategies

• Component-level testing with advanced instrumentation

• Battery and drone testing on MAST tables

• Environmental simulation for thermal cycling, altitude, and vacuum

Designed for aerospace engineers, R&D teams, and academic institutions, this session delivers practical insights into integrated structural and environmental testing for mission-critical reliability.
