Aerospace Testing
DTB has a rich history of testing aerospace structures and components for fixed wing and rotorcraft applications. We cover proof of concept testing, conformity inspections, and complete
RTCA/DO-160 certification testing to the latest revision.
Dayton T. Brown has extensive test facilities, teams of experienced engineers and support staff and round-the-clock operation to complete your test requirements quickly and keep programs on schedule.
Our aerospace engineering experience runs the gamut from
Conformance Inspection with a full in house climate controlled Dimensional Lab and Metallurgical Laboratory, to Failure Analysis,
In-flight Instrumentation and Data Acquisition
to Alternate source Qualification Testing
complete with Design Engineering, Fabrication and Final Approval.
Aircraft Test Equipment
Do you need easy to use, proven
aircraft test equipment that will save you time and money by minimizing the maintenance and repair procedures? Then we can help!
We design and manufacture a wide range of
aircraft test equipment to support Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul operations, component manufacturers and Commercial and Business Jet manufacturing operations.
RTCA/DO-160 Testing
Dayton T. Brown, Inc. can test to all the latest RTCA/DO-160 criteria. RTCA/DO-160 testing covers standard procedures and environmental test criteria for testing airborne electronic equipment, (avionics), for the entire spectrum of aircraft, from light general aviation aircraft and helicopters, Business Jet and VIP aircraft through Regional and Commercial aircraft. Coordinated with EUROCAE (European Organization for Civil Aviation Equipment), RTCA/DO-160D and its European twin, EUROCAE/ED-14D, are worded identically.
We can perform Emissions and Susceptibility testing to 40 GHz. Our equipment can generate Radiated Susceptibility fields well in excess of 200 V/m across the frequency range of 10 kHz to 40 GHz.
We are A2LA accredited for RTCA/DO-160 testing, and have large anechoic test chambers, with high current DC and AC sources available.
DTB now offers state-of-the-art lightning testing as part of our RTCA/DO-160 capabilities.

Lightning Testing System
A recent addition to DTB’s aerospace testing equipment repertoire is a brand new
lightning simulation test system from HV Technologies.
This system is capable of generating a wide range of single stroke, multi-stroke and multi-burst waveforms as required by the latest national and international aviation test standards.
|
DTB’s Indirect Lightning Effects capabilities include:
|
|
• Testing in compliance with RTCA/DO-160E, Section 22
• Multiple burst / multiple stroke lightning per SAE ARP5412,
EUROCEA/ED-14E, FAA AC:20-136, SAE AE4L, MIL-STD-1757
• Testing for specific Boeing and Airbus requirements
|
DTB also provides both single stroke and MS-MB
pin injection testing and cable injection testing services on equipment with complex digital circuitry. Whether the damaging effects of lightning are a routine, occasional or an infrequent risk, we can minimize the effects on your systems, giving your products the lightning protection required for dependable performance.
