NLRs structural integrity capability helps organisations optimise the operation of their (military) aircraft. We support the optimisation of usage and maintenance, aiming to maximise operational readiness while minimising costs and maintaining safety standards. Our expertise can also help extend component life and reduce maintenance costs.
NLR can support you with:
- Conducting a full range of structural integrity assessments based on decades of experience.
- Providing advice on operational usage issues, such as: non-destructive inspection (NDI) procedures, modification and maintenance issues.
- Validating design loads through monitoring, storing, and analysing operational loads and usage parameters.
- Analysing the relationship between operational usage and deterioration, (e.g. cracks, corrosion, nicks, and delamination), crack growth behaviour, and residual strength.
