Here at Tamarack, precision and innovation form the foundation of everything we do. From our transformative Active Winglet technology to the pioneering advancements in our Engineering Consulting division, each step we take aims to redefine the boundaries of aerospace engineering. Central to that mission is testing—ensuring that every component, design, and system our team develops meets the most rigorous standards of performance and safety.
Behind the scenes, our close-knit engineering crew is at the forefront of shaping the future of flight. Whether it's stress-testing a newly designed part or validating system performance in extreme environments, our engineers work tirelessly to refine, assess, and push every product to its limits.
Ask anyone involved in crafting aerospace components, and they’ll tell you that a single test is worth a thousand expert opinions. Here at Tamarack, we leave nothing to chance. Our engineers craft specialized test fixtures for each project, creating custom setups that replicate real-world conditions down to the smallest detail. These fixtures are designed, instrumented, and validated to simulate the most challenging scenarios. By engineering for precision, we ensure that the foundation of our testing process is built on accuracy and reliability.
In the realm of aerospace testing, data is everything. Our advanced Instrumentation & Data Acquisition (DAQ) systems collect real-time metrics from our tests, enabling us to monitor every critical parameter with pinpoint accuracy. Whether it's structural loads, vibration responses, or environmental threats, our DAQ systems capture vital data that allows us to optimize performance and guarantee safety at every level.
In aviation, there is no margin for error. That’s why our Structural Tests are designed to thoroughly evaluate the integrity and durability of each part we create. From critical load-bearing components to lightweight structural elements, we ensure that every part is capable of withstanding the intense stresses and strains encountered during flight.
Environmental testing, particularly the DO-160 standards, is also a key element of our testing regime. Aircraft systems must operate reliably in an array of harsh conditions—extreme temperatures, high humidity, drastic altitude changes, and even direct lightning strikes. Our Environmental Testing simulates these scenarios to verify that Tamarack products can endure and operate in any condition they may encounter.
Endurance is paramount in aerospace engineering. To ensure our systems continue to perform well beyond their expected lifespan, we conduct Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS). These processes accelerate the aging and stress factors of our products, identifying potential points of failure before they become issues in real-world use. Through HALT and HASS, we guarantee that our products will not only meet but exceed their intended life expectancy, all while maintaining optimal performance even in the harshest conditions.
No aerospace innovation is complete without real-world validation. Flight Testing is the ultimate proving ground for our technologies, where every aspect of performance—from aerodynamic behavior to fuel efficiency—is meticulously validated in real-world operational conditions.
Supporting these efforts is our comprehensive Ground Testing program, which evaluates systems in a controlled environment. Ground Vibration Testing (GVT) and Modal Testing techniques allow us to measure an aircraft’s natural vibration frequencies, ensuring both stability and optimal performance during flight. By leveraging both flight and ground testing, we ensure our products are second to none in safety, reliability, and performance.
Innovation Meets Rigor
What truly sets Tamarack apart isn’t just our groundbreaking technology—it’s our dedication to thorough, rigorous testing throughout every stage of development. From initial design validation to structural endurance, every test we conduct ensures that our products not only meet but exceed the highest safety and performance standards, continually setting new benchmarks for the aerospace industry.
As we continue expanding our Engineering Consulting services, testing remains integral to everything we do. It is this unwavering pursuit of precision and excellence that empowers us to help aviation pioneers—from ambitious startups to established industry giants—turn bold ideas into remarkable innovations.
At Tamarack, we don’t just test our products; we test the future of flight itself. With every test, we take one step closer to turning that future into a reality!
