Aircraft certification: Numerical analysis supported by physical testing

By Claire Cole

Aircraft certification is a crucial part of any successful program. However, it’s a time-consuming and expensive process. Numerical analysis supported by physical testing can speed up and de-risk the aircraft certification process significantly.

In a recent webinar with the National Institute of Aviation Research (NIAR), we explored the handshake between physical and virtual testing and how it can help accelerate aircraft certification. The clips below are some key moments from the webinar you won’t want to miss. Interested in watching the full webinar recording? You can find it here.

The increasing complexity of aircraft certification

In the first three clips, Jens de Boer, Simcenter solution manager for aerospace at Siemens Digital Industries Software, walks through the trends in the industry that are impacting aircraft certification and how the process is evolving thanks to the development of a certification digital twin.
