Ep. 12: Understanding the Nuances of Aerospace Testing

When it comes to designing an aerospace vehicle, testing and verification are critical parts of the process. Understanding where testing fits into the entire program life cycle, what components need to be tested, when and how they’ll be tested, and what elements can be verified versus tested, are all crucial to ensuring that the facility requirements meet those comprehensive needs, and are all ultimately crucial to mission success. Derek Nolek, National Practice Leader for Ground Support Equipment Engineering at BRPH, shares some insights on the nuances of aerospace testing.
