Test-bench engineering for aerospace

End-to-end test benches, built by test engineers.

Turnkey benches for aerospace programs — hardware, software, commissioning, and support beyond handover. One accountable team, from the first requirement to the first test run.

Who we are

A team of aerospace test engineers — now one company.

We designed, built and operated development labs from scratch. Test engineering isn't a market we studied. It's the job we did.

Practitioners, not resellers

Years of hands-on test-bench engineering inside aerospace development programs — conventional aircraft and eVTOL. We've stood exactly where your test team stands now.

Hardware + software

One team covering rigs, wiring, I/O, real-time systems and the operator software on top.

Bench to iron bird

Single benches and complete labs — including laboratories used for MoC 4 compliance testing.

One accountable team

No hand-offs between vendors, no integration gaps. From requirements to years of support, one team carries the whole bench — and puts its name on it.

What we've built

Complete labs, delivered end to end.

Full development labs delivered for a leading eVTOL OEM — then connected into one integrated test environment. Team members also built iron birds on major conventional-aircraft programs.

Avionics Lab

Full avionics integration and test environment — built, wired and commissioned.

Flight Control Lab

Including closed-loop simulation integration — hardware in the loop with real controllers.

Propulsion Test Bench

Engine and rotor test rig — the whirl tower — designed, built and commissioned from the ground up.

Integrated Bench

Standalone benches linked into one iron-bird-class test environment — one data store.

One team, end to end

We take responsibility for the whole bench.

No hand-offs between vendors, no integration gaps. A single accountable team carries the delivery.

A bench is not a project. It's an assembly of proven modules.

One part-number list · instant familiarity · documentation that repeats, not restarts
The software-defined test bench

Our own suite — included with every bench.

Proven architecture, over 20+ years of daily lab use. Modernized and reimplemented from scratch with today's technology.

Operator Cockpit

Live view and control of every signal on the bench.

Safety Monitoring

Dedicated safety panel with alerts and abort conditions.

Test Automation

Repeatable, scripted test sequences — run after run.

Custom Dashboards

Drag-and-drop displays tailored to each test article.

Live Plotting

Real-time visualization of any channel.

Data Recording

Reliable capture, exported in standard formats.

Why NxtBench

Deliver from experience, not experiment.

One partner for hardware, software and integration — proven in aerospace, software-defined, built around your requirements from a single rig to a connected lab.

Certification-aware by design

Traceable parameters, timestamped and synchronized data, repeatable scripted sequences, standard export formats — a data chain regulators can follow. Built by engineers whose labs earned MoC 4 credit.

Single accountability

One partner for hardware, software and integration — no finger-pointing.

Grows with you

Standalone bench → integrated benches → iron bird. Every bench compounds the last.

Proven in aerospace

Our approach was shaped on demanding aircraft development programs, where benches must simply work. Support that doesn't stop at handover — we grow alongside your program, delivery after delivery.

Let's build your next bench.

A new bench, an upgrade of an existing one, or a complete lab — we'd like to discuss your needs and propose a concrete scope. As an early partner, you get direct access to the founders.
