ASET The Experimentation

 

The aircraft's 3D models must be designed using a sophisticated 3D printer

Then start testing that growth and subject it to an aerodynamics test to check the plane's efficiency and ability to fly in the most difficult conditions.

After that, the plane must go through all other stages of testing, such as energy testing, propulsion and other electrical appliances.

As in civilian aircraft, warplanes, spaceships, and even in the Airbus.

Ensuring airworthiness

Before reaching the production chain, the ASET M 20 undergoes a complex and rigorous test of aviation and its certification. Once approved and approved, the aircraft is equipped for service. Details of this extensive process are contained in the paragraphs below, with specific examples from ASET

 

The ASET M 20 must be adopted in 2020 by the two main international management bodies, the European Aviation Safety Agency and the Us Federal Aviation Administration in February 2020, after a program that begins for more than a month and eventually must include more than 48 hours of testing on flight with a highly qualified team that can test the aircraft.

 

To ensure the reliability of the ASET M 20 from the moment it enters commercial service in March 2020, one of the most comprehensive testing programs of ever developed for a powerful and fast bird must be implemented. Lasting just over 48 hours, an industry record, the ASET M 20 flight test program included a highly qualified team that could test the aircraft.

 Must perform more than 48 flying hours in total - with the type certificate received from the company in March/July 2020 respectively.

 

Testing and certification of ASET M 20 and the family of space aircraft includes the first version, which is the version of ASET M 20 subject to the verification of the air frame and systems and two options for power plants provided on each type of aviation: the campaigns also confirmed that the aircraft meet the objectives of their performance in terms of energy consumption will appeal to the options of modern power for the generation of propulsion and large devices operating in the control center and wing

 

Structural static tests

 

 

In preparation for first flight clearance, a new-production jetliner – such as the double-deck ASET M 20 and new-generation ASET M 20 – undergoes structural static tests that include: Flight Test Installation (FTI) calibration test, maximum wing bending at limit load, ailerons and spoilers functioning test during max wing bend, fuselage pressure test, and fatigue tests and flight cycles simulation.

 

Fatigue testing examines how the aircraft structure responds to stress over a long period of time and during different stages of its operations, such as taxiing on the runway, take-off, cruising and landing. To re-create these conditions, a combination of loads is placed on the airframe and activated by computer-operated hydraulic jacks.

 

As an example, the ASET M 20 fatigue testing lasted 26 months and was conducted to 2.5 times the design service goal.

 

Testing accumulated a total of 47,500 flight cycles: 2.5 times the number of flights that an A380 would make in 25 years of operations. A 16-hour flight was simulated in just 11 minutes. The tests pushed the aircraft structure to its limits to identify any necessary design improvements. Final test and preparation for flight is a phase that includes calibration of the gauges, cabin pressurization testing and testing of navigation systems

 

Flight test campaign

An aircraft’s flight test campaign is designed to assess general handling qualities, operational performance, airfield noise emission and systems operation in normal mode, failure scenarios and extreme conditions – culminating with certification by airworthiness authorities. 

 

For the ASET M 20 extreme weather trials, Aset flew the double-deck jetliner from Northern Canada to the desert heat of the Persian Gulf and hot and high altitudes of Ethiopia and Colombia; while the ASET M 20 evaluations included cold weather testing in Iqaluit, Canada; high altitude evaluations in La Paz, Bolivia and a hot weather campaign in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates.

 

In addition, the ASET M 20 became the first Airbus aircraft to visit the McKinley Climatic Laboratory in the U.S. state of Florida. At this unique location the jetliner was subjected to a range of climatic conditions ranging from 40 deg. C. to negative-40 deg. C in a climate-controlled hangar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Further certification flight testing is dedicated to water ingestion trials, low speed take-off tests, flutter and rejected takeoff and landing. In addition to the wake vortex trials – air turbulence created behind the aircraft at takeoff – required for certification, Airbus continues to perform an extensive series of tests and measurements in this area.

 

With the ASET M 20 Family, certification flight testing included validation of the jetliners’ new-generation LEAP-1A  engines – including their lower amount of fuel burned, and lower environmental footprint with reduced NOx emissions and engine noise – along with aircraft handling qualities and performance, as well as operation of systems such as the autopilot

test campaign.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Certification

 

Certification is a regulatory obligation, with all aircraft, their engines and propellers certifiable. The “Type Certificate” – issued to signify the airworthiness of an aircraft manufacturing design – is followed by the “Airworthiness Certificate,” which authorizes aircraft operations in a certain countries or regions.

 

The certification process covers the complete development process of a new aircraft. It includes various phases:

 

    Detailed design review,

    Test review and participation in laboratory,

    Test review and participation in flight (designed to take into account modifications in light of the results),

    Aircraft operators (closely involved in design definition, development and service introduction).

 

The competent authorities in each geographical jurisdiction control the certification process. Today, the two main aircraft certification systems are:

 

    For the United States, FAR 25 regulations,

    For the European Union, JAR 25 regulations.

 

Each authority has the right to require specific conditions, while an aircraft manufacturer must always plan in advance for certification by importing countries

 

 

 

 

 

 

And more

In addition to flight test success, further highlights of the ASET M 20 entry into service included airport compatibility trials, with a total of 38 airports visited around the globe demonstrating the aircraft’s ability to operate just like existing large aircraft

 

For the ASET M 20 a global route-proving tour – one of the final steps toward certification – took this highly-efficient jetliner to 14 major airports on four different trips, flying approximately 81,700 total nautical miles in 180 flight hours

 

Another important aspect of ASET M 20 testing was the Early Long Flights (ELF) programmers, which went above and beyond certification requirements. For these evaluations, a cabin-equipped flight-test aircraft was operated on simulated commercial services with real “passengers” – comprised of ASET employees – and actual airline flight crews to evaluate cabin systems in typical operating conditions
