Altitude Testing: The Basics

The primary purpose of thermal altitude testing is to prevent critical component failure, which could have catastrophic consequences. By demonstrating the capacity to dependably perform under any atmospheric or environmental condition, this testing also assures purchasers that the product has superior quality. Additionally, thermal altitude testing helps verify that the equipment meets the high aerospace requirements set by industry experts and regulating bodies, such as RTCA-DO-160 and MIL-STD-202, which certify that the equipment can endure certain conditions it might face.
