  • Flight in factory
    Patent number: 8688408
    Abstract: A method is provided to measure an aircraft under simulated flight-loads while the aircraft is not in flight. Simulated flight-loads may be applied to the aircraft, while the aircraft is not in flight, in order to substantially simulate flight pressure distribution loads the aircraft would experience during flight. A position of one or more portions of the aircraft may be measured, while the aircraft is under the simulated flight-loads, to determine an effect of the simulated flight-loads on the aircraft.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 9, 2009
    Date of Patent: April 1, 2014
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
