Bombardier said testing of the composite demonstrator wing for CSeries is underway at its facility in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The site has assembled the full-scale, three-quarter span pre-production demonstrator wing using a resin transfer infusion process. A specially-designed rig represents the outer wing to centre wing box and centre fuselage attachments, including a simulated main landing gear leg and a simulated engine and pylon. Controlled loading will be applied to these key areas of the demonstrator, thereby replicating the maximum loading conditions that the wing will see in service.
