The Test Fuselage Holds Pressure

May 4, 2012 | Blog

The first pressure testing has begun on the fuselage test article. This test was just checking that the hatch seals work and there are no leaks. Now that we have done this test, the whole test rig will be moved into the safety cell. In the next few tests, big chunks might fly off so we need to have them contained.  The perfect container to contain the debris is a shipping container.

Some more parts have arrived – the photo above is the main wheel complete with its hydraulic disc brake.
