A Hydraulic Static Testing Apparatus: A Description of the Equipment Installed at Ottawa for Carrying out Strength Tests on Wings and Other Large Structures

Abstract

A HYDRAULIC static testing apparatus has been installed in the Structures Laboratory for the purpose of carrying out static strength tests on aircraft components and other large structures. In the design of this apparatus, an attempt has been made to provide testing facilities which are as complete as possible within the physical limitations imposed by shape and size of the existing building.
