MTS Systems Corporation, an Illinois Tool Works Inc. company and leading global supplier of high-performance test systems, has revealed that it will host a series of one-hour webinars, exploring an array mechanical test and simulation solutions designed to help electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft manufacturers achieve regulatory approval and certification with speed, efficiency and confidence.

Each webinar session will provide insights into the testing technologies and methods needed to gain critical insight into eVTOL airworthiness, reliability, and safety. Presentation topics will span structural static and fatigue testing; systems integration, or “iron bird” testing; components and subassemblies testing, and li-ion battery testing.

The webinars will be led by highly experienced MTS aerospace applications engineers:

  • Jeff VanLangendon, business development manager, has supported MTS aerospace structural testing customers worldwide for 17 years.
  • Jonas Bjuhr, business development manager / AE manager, has more than 35 years of experience in
    aerospace structural testing, performing numerous roles such as test engineer and product manager.

Webinar Schedule

To accommodate a global audience, MTS will host live webinars across three primary geographies. Those interested in attending can learn more and register: https://www.mts.com/en/articles/aerospace/evtol-webinar
