Devices And Methods Of Applying One Or More Testing Forces To A Rotor Blade

A device for testing a rotor blade of an aircraft. The device is configured to receive and secure a shaft of the rotor blade. Once secured, the device is configured to allow for inputting combined loads and bending moments into the rotor blade to simulate the rotor blade behavior in flight. A testin...
