In fuselage design studies there will always be the necessity to test components in a realistic way. The fusealge panel test facility at NLR offers the possibility to subject fuselage skin sections to residual strength and fatigue tests. The fatigue test loads simulate cabin pressurization in circumferential direction and axial loads representative of both cabin pressure and fueselage bending. To verify the test methodology and the specifications of the test set-up the performance is verified using a GLARE panel. The verification shows the suitability of the biaxial load introduction systems. In addition the GLARE fuselage panel tests prove that the use of GLARE leads to a substantial weight reduction without affecting the fatigue or static strength.
