The only facility in the world for the execution of real structural impact testing with the recognised procedures of the National Agency for Aeronautic Certification (ENAC).
LISA is a laboratory with the general purpose of performing numerical/experimental activities related to high energy impacts of aerospace structures; in particular, the investigation of passive safety in the aeronautic field. For experiments, the following testing facilities are available: Large Impact Facility, Ditching and emergency landing test facility, Drop Tower. For numerical simulations Finite Element codes are used (PAMCRASH type) and Multi Body (Krash type).
