Aircraft Fuels Testing


 
Omega Engineering Services » Case Studies » Aircraft Fuels Testing


A major client had an urgent requirement to run a series of tests on ice accretion in the fuel tanks of some of its long range aircraft.

Working on a multiple shift basis, 6 days per week, OES were asked to undertake a wide range of tasks including:

  • SCADA support for the Facility Monitoring and Control System
  • Engineering and technician support for the Instrument Monitoring and Control system
  • Designing specific-to-type test equipment
  • Modifying and commissioning existing test equipment for all stages of the test programme
  • Analysis, collation and presentation of test data
  • Analysis of fuel samples
  • Overall project management of the engineering team to quality, cost and schedule

Despite the short notice, OES was able to support this programme in full with a diverse team of highly skilled engineers. The result is a successful fixed price work package where the client has been able to meet some very tight deadlines despite a huge increase in its overall workload.
