Advanced Hydraulic Test Rig (HTR) for Aviation | Jetsys Defence
The Hydraulic Test Rig (HTR) from Jetsys Defence is a precision-engineered system built for aircraft hydraulic testing, component validation, and maintenance operations. Designed to simulate real-world pressures, temperatures and dynamic load conditions, it ensures every hydraulic component meets aviation-grade safety and reliability standards before entering active service.
Whether required for commercial aircraft, defence platforms, MRO facilities, or aviation manufacturing, Jetsys Defence offers both standard and custom HTR models to match your hydraulic testing needs.
Why Aircraft Require a Hydraulic Test Rig (HTR)
Modern aircraft rely extensively on hydraulic power for critical flight operations. Even minor failures in valves, pumps, actuators, or cylinders can compromise safety and performance. The Jetsys Defence HTR performs controlled stress testing to detect faults before installation or during maintenance cycles.
Aircraft systems that rely on hydraulics include:
Landing gear deployment and retraction
Primary and secondary flight controls
Braking and steering assemblies
Flap and slat mechanisms
Cargo door actuation systems
Rotor blade and pitch control in helicopters
By testing these components under real operational conditions, the HTR ensures dependable performance throughout the aircraft’s service life.
