Saint-Gobain Executes Successful Remote Test for FAA Certification

Regulatory compliance tests and source inspections have become more challenging to execute as travel and facility access are restricted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Quickly adapting to new circumstances, Saint-Gobain Aerospace leveraged its expertise in structural testing and certification to perform remote witnessing of a lightning strike test for a new radome.

With remote testing, Saint-Gobain is able to keep our customers’ projects moving forward.

Don Dentler, Program Manager at Saint-Gobain Aerospace, explains: “This remote test was a ‘first’ for Saint-Gobain as well as for our partners. We shared ideas and learned together. Our preparation and collaboration paid off with a successful test and valuable experience that can be applied to future projects.”

At a time when “business as usual” is being redefined on every front, Saint-Gobain expects remote testing and inspection will become a frequent requirement as well as a valuable capability, allowing us to manage development projects more efficiently and keep customer programs on track.
