Winglets: testing wing-end components
The Austrian company FACC Operations GmbH and its subsidiary CoLT Prüf und Test GmbH, develop, manufacture and test lightweight components for leading aircraft and engine manufacturers. Due to their expertise as system partner for winglet concepts, they were commissioned by Airbus to design and manufacture winglets for the A350 XWB long-haul aircraft. Of course, extensive component testing of winglets also belongs within their range of services. For the component test stands FACC and CoLT have chosen test and measurement solutions from imc Test & Measurement GmbH.
