CEiiA TI

RI-132
CEIIA
Description

The Ceiia Test Center is a facility for carrying out structural, mechanical, climatic and materialographic tests.

It was used during Embraer’s KC390 program for aeronautical certification testing of various components.

 

It has two main spaces for conducting tests:

– Aeronautical hangar, prepared to carry out structural tests specialized in full-scale and fatigue tests.

– Laboratory with controlled environment, to carry out mechanical tests on universal machines, climatic and materialographic tests.

 

The special characteristics of the test center allow tests to be carried out that cover the entire aeronautical test pyramid. Allowing small aircrafts full-scale tests, component and subcomponent tests. All of them with capability to develop, manufacture, and assembly the necessary rigs. Also, coupon tests and structural details (joints, adhesives,…), with the possibility of applying temperature during the test. Instrumentation capabilities includes installation of strain, displacement and acceleration sensors.
