METHOD FOR STATIC TESTS OF AIRCRAFT AEROFOILS AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC G01M5/00 G01N3/00 

FIELD: testing.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to static strength tests, namely to static tests of thin aerofoils of an aircraft. When implementing the method, a hole is made in the aerofoil, a tie-rod is drawn into the hole, the ends of the tie-rod are brought out beyond the sides of the aerofoil, wherein first end of tie-rod is secured on first side of aerofoil while load is applied to second end of tie-rod. Device comprises a tie-rod located in the hole of the aerofoil, so that the ends of the tie-rod protrude beyond the sides of the aerofoil, wherein said first end is secured at aerofoil first side while said second end is intended for load application.

EFFECT: improved strength properties of aerofoils of aircraft in places of load application during static tests of thin aerofoils without load-bearing elements, as well as increased reliability of test results.
