Iron Bird Test Systems
The Iron Bird Test System, is the most sophisticated test system developed in Turkey to date. It serves as a test platform where all critical systems and components of the aircraft, especially the flight control system, are tested.
The Iron Bird Test System measures the adequacy of the flight control system in real-time and simulates aerodynamic loads and fault scenarios that the aircraft may encounter under various maneuver conditions. These tests are conducted in a laboratory environment to ensure the safety and reliability of the aircraft.
Key Features
