In Bend, Oregon, USA, the Stratos Aircraft Company has successfully completed the wing test program for the Stratos 714 prototype aircraft. The wing has now been taken to limit internal pressure (for non arbitrary cases), 1.15 x limit down bending and 1.25 x limit wing up-bending – this clears the prototype wing structure for full envelope flight testing. Abbott Aerospace Inc has developed the composite structure of the wing, and the rest of the airframe, for Stratos as well as performing the loads engineering function. Special thanks to Nirav Shukla, our in house stress engineer, who completed the last round of weight optimization for the wing structure. Congratulations to Stratos aircraft on achieving this critical milestone!
