Aerospace components are exposed to extreme conditions during flight including quick temperature changes which effect humidity levels as well. We conduct fully automated and individual temperature and humidity tests in our Temperature Humidity Chamber as well as parallel electrical tests to guarantee dependable operation.

Electrical components installed in aircraft are exposed to all types of conditions, including changes in frequency and power, power interrupts and or spikes. AES performs extensive electrical tests for these specific situations. Naturally, all our tests are ABD-compliant and fulfil the RTCA DO-160 standard.

AES works closely with the ZARM Test Center that is also located in Bremen. This close cooperation extends our variety of qualification and test services. With its broad range of aerospace testing capabilities in vacuum, in extreme and variable thermal environments, under vibration, as well as in hyper- and microgravity you can rely on comprehensive qualification services for your products.

We prepare technical repercussion sheets (TRS) and support the on-site electrical integration of integrated fuselage assembly (IFA) for the AIRBUS A400M.
The TRS documents include all the technical changes made during the design phase, along with any possible impact, on other AIRBUS A400M systems. We analyse and track all changes, and define solutions for any necessary modifications. Our on-site installation support employees, handle quality documents, such as design query notes (DQN). They provide solution proposals to the assembly line and pass on the requirements to the design office.

Our engineers handle inquiries concerning electrical systems, including:

• AIRBUS ATA 873 (equipment installation)
• AIRBUS ATA 878 (cable installation)
• AIRBUS ATA 879 (cable looms)

Our services also include:

• Analysing change requests (CR)
• Completing and verifying modifications
