I figured I would start this thread of discussion to get some dialog going about static testing aircraft structures. I've been following a thread over in the cutting edge discussion about carbon spars. You can see the thread here. It's got me curious as to the best method for static testing spars and wings. Does anyone know of a good resource with practical tips for setting up a rig to do this? I did some searching around the net but did not come up with very much. I figured that maybe some of you might have some insights on the matter. In the other thread, Senna posted a diagram of his proposed testing method and to me it looks great. I just figured that the testing methods deserved it's own thread and would be an interesting topic to explore. Hope you don't mind Senna :D.
