Exova supporting Boeing Apache programme

Testing, calibration and advisory services provider Exova, has been contracted by Boeing to conduct materials testing as part of its AH-64 Apache attack helicopter development programme.

Exova’s Santa Fe Springs, California, laboratory will undertake a range of mechanical testing at various temperatures on metallic transmission materials to provide Boeing with key performance parameters.

The work is the latest in a relationship between Exova and the Boeing Apache programme that stretches back over 30 years to the aircraft’s inception in the early 70s.
