The agenda for the Aerospace Test & Development Show, which takes place at the MEETT Exhibition Centre in Toulouse, France on September 10-11, has been revealed.
The aerospace testing and engineering community will gather to view and discuss the latest advances in aerospace testing and development technologies and techniques at the premier and unique technical event.
More than 100 testing equipment and services companies are exhibiting, each showcasing the latest solutions to reduce product failure, decrease product development cycles and costs, and improve performance and reliability in aircraft, spacecraft, drones and eVTOL aircraft.
As well as the exhibition, Aerospace Test & Development Show’s visitors can take part in the no-cost Open Forum, a conference which features two full days of content and over 30 expert speakers discussing key industry topics crucial those working in aerospace testing and development.
Areas to be covered include hybrid-electric and hydrogen propulsion, new aircraft types such as eVTOLs, the increased use of autonomy in avionics as well as flight testing instrumentation, NDT and structural testing.
Ben Sampson, editor of Aerospace Testing International said, “Aerospace is one of the most innovative and exciting areas of engineering. Aerospace testing in all its forms is often complex and challenging but fundamental to the success of aircraft, spacecraft and air vehicle development programs.
“The Open Forum is a central part of the Aerospace Test and Development show and will feature presentations about the latest aerospace and testing technologies and the best practices that engineers are using today, and considering using for tomorrow’s aircraft.
“It features speakers from organizations including Airbus, Bombardier and Leonardo Helicopters, startups up like Beyond Aero, H55 and Aura Aero as well as leading testing suppliers like NI, HBK and Siemens. Attendees are promised up-to-date information and stimulating discussions about the latest technology.”
