Vladislav Turko, A. Sorokins

This report includes all the basic results of the Mi-26 test rig design and manifacture, the results of the frequency tests, the results of the tenzogages measurements and all the results of the fatique tests in Structural Test Lab "AVIATEST LNK" (Riga, Latvia). Loading scheme includes three dynamical channels for the imitation flight condition of the tail propeller (X,Y,Z direction) and also three static channels for the cargo cabin and main rotor loadings. For the operate system is used Russian special test equipment "TRIAL". In order to record the history of loadings is used data acquisition system MGCplus by HBM Company (Germany). The main charasteristic of those tests is the possibility to execute by each dynamical actuator the static and dynamic loads simultaneously with different frequencies. The main aim of the fatique tests of the fuselage is to increase the Service Life Limit for all Mi-26 helicopters.
