Military Projects

Ground and In-Flight Operable APU Systems for B707, E-8C (J-STARS) and C130/L382. Auxiliary Air Conditioning for Equipment and Personnel on the C130/L382, B707 and the DC-8, Generator Upgrade, Power Distribution System, Air Conditioning Upgrade, and Liquid Cooling System for the JSF CATB.

Flight Testing

Comprehensive in-flight testing and analysis services, including aircraft test beds

Flight Test Services

In 1983, AEROCON added flight test services to its inventory of engineering and test equipment. Our combi configured, Aircraft is designed to facilitate the quick installation and removal of flight test equipment and personnel support systems. This aircraft provides the ideal platform for ease of flight test and observation.

In addition to our large transport aircraft flight services we also operate twin engine aircraft. We employ this aircraft for smaller scale flight test programs. Our experience in Power Distribution Unit (PDU) design and analysis make the modification of this aircraft a viable option for flight test projects.

Airframe/Structural

Modifications for external sensors mounted in radom, side cargo doors and/or belly mounted pallets. Design analysis, fabrication, installation and approval.

Equipment Rack Mounts And Electrical Power Distribution

Matched to system equipment and sensor data gathering requirements. Inertial Navigation Systems, Electronics and various antenna types, as well as electric powered air conditioning system installation.

Structural Testing

AEROCON provides structural testing for determination of approved allowable limits, established by the FAA, for aircraft components and materials. We can perform many types of structural testing. The following is a partial list of material and products test in our lab:

Panel Testing

Honey Comb and Face and core strength per MIL-STD 401

Composite Panels

Attachments, shelves, corners, latches, hinges

Seat Tracks/Fittings

Cargo Tie-Downs

Welded, bolted, riveted, and bonded joints

Components

Seats, belts, harnesses, overhead storage bins, and straps

Test Data Reduction per MIL-HDBK-5
