The design and mechanical performance of a helicopter horizontal stabilizer slat made by resin transfer moulding (RTM) can be evaluated with finite element analysis (FEA). To verify the validity of the assumptions used in the modelling of the slat structure, static mechanical tests were performed on prototype slats which were half of the full-size length. The slat complex boundary conditions were simplified to make static mechanical testing possible. Two fixtures were designed and built to introduce simplified loads in specimens with two different bracket configurations: a full and a half bracket. A finite element (FE) model of the specimens was made with shell elements and the finite element solution was compared with the experimental resu...
