Mars Metal: Supporting Aerospace Safety with Industry-Approved Test Weights
February 3, 2025
Aircraft safety depends on rigorous testing before takeoff. Mars Metal supplies industry-approved test weights for destructive & in-flight testing, ensuring designs meet aerospace standards. See how Mars Metal supports critical testing.
Before any new or modified aircraft design leaves the ground carrying passengers it must first undergo rigid testing to ensure the safety of the design. Many of the components are tested to destruction so areas like the wings and tail sections can experience the maximum design stresses and prove the design parameters are being met. Other applications for test weights in the aerospace industry include in-flight testing for uneven loading and load shifting and taxiway evaluation to simulate full loads for brake testing under a variety of situations.
Mars Metal Company, Specialty Casting Division provides an industry-approved, easy-to-handle weight to satisfy this requirement. Each weight consists of 25 lbs of lead shot sewn into a denier nylon bag for destructive testing applications or a ballistic nylon bag treated with flame retardant to exceed industry standards for actual in-flight testing applications.
