Aircraft manufacturers
Aircraft manufacturers develop and produce civil and military aircraft for the global market. Current trends show a growing demand for more sustainable aircraft, with a focus on technologies such as hydrogen-powered engines and electric aircraft. Innovative designs such as the blended wing body, which enable greater efficiency, are also gaining momentum. At the same time, manufacturers face challenges such as the integration of new technologies, rising operating costs, and geopolitical uncertainties. Nevertheless, the industry continues to innovate and adapt to changing market conditions.

To assess filter performance, aircraft air filters are weighed before and after use to determine the captured particle mass. Analytical balances enable high-resolution differential measurements and provide a reliable basis for evaluating filter efficiency. The measurement data are directly used in the quality assurance of cabin air systems.
During thrust tests in propulsion development, the thrust force of the engine in conjunction with the propeller assembly is determined. Digital force measuring devices enable precise and reproducible measurement of these forces and provide reliable measurement data for the design and optimisation of the propulsion system. The measurement data are directly related to the propeller geometry.
During the manufacturing process in the aerospace industry, components are tested for contamination. The results are compared with manufacturer-specific standards. Polarizing microscopes are particularly well suited for this purpose.
Optical inspection is a key component of quality assurance in the manufacturing of aircraft components. Stereomicroscopes enable the detailed inspection of welds, surfaces, and coatings during ongoing production processes. Deviations can be identified early and addressed directly within the process.
In aircraft manufacturing, welded joints are tested on a random sampling basis to verify their mechanical strength. Motorised test stands enable reproducible determination of pull-out forces and provide reliable data for evaluating joint quality.
