Enironmental testing for the DOD.  Weapons systems, aircraft, hovercraft, missile systems, tents and shelters, vehicles....pretty much anything and everything in the DOD's inventory. 

Also, icing certifications for the FAA.....engine icing ingestion or the entire aircraft icing certification. 

We raise the aircraft on jacks, tie it down and then the test team can test/raise and lower landing gear as well as run engines to take off power and full after burner.......all inside a closed building/chamber. 

We advertise that we test anything from -65*F to +165*F......although we've tested items to -70*F and up to +170*F.  We can go as cold as -100*F and as hot as +200*F if a customer really wants us to. 

We don't just test DOD.....we also test for civilian customers.  We've had Ford, Chrysler, Boeing, Bombardier, GE, Pratt & Whitney, Goodyear, etc and many more......anybody that wants to write us a check. 





But mostly I sit on my ass with my feet up on the desk alot.

here she is forgetting what she was supposed to copy.....again
