Test facilities
JAXA has a range of testing facilities essential for aeronautics, such as wind tunnels, research aircraft, aeroegine test facilities, composites test facilities and supercomputer. Some test facilities are available to external users.
Composites test facilities
JAXA has an extensive range of facilities that enable diverse R&D on structures and advanced materials.
We have specialized testing equipment for composite materials and structures, such as composite fabrication facilities, strength test facilities, materials properties measurement machines, and non-destructive inspection equipment. These facilities underpins various studies on composite technologies. Some facilities are available to external users (for a fee).
