Speedgoat to showcase advanced hardware-in-the-loop demos and full workflow solutions
22/07/2025
Speedgoat is set to make an impact at this year’s Aerospace Test & Development Show, showcasing real-time test systems designed to support the entire aerospace development lifecycle, from system architecture through to certification.
We talked to Yves Gerster, chief business development officer and aerospace expert at Speedgoat. A team of experienced technical sales engineers will be attending the show. “Everyone on our stand is an engineer who can go into deep technical discussions, not just sales talk,” he says.
A key focus for Speedgoat at the show will be its hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing solutions, systems designed to simulate real aircraft behaviour so test engineers can validate components like autopilots, sensors, and FADECs under complex, realistic flight scenarios. “The big advantage of HIL is that it’s not just input-output testing, it simulates full flight cycles. The system receives input signals to emulate actual flight conditions in real time,” Gerster explains. “It allows for scenario-based testing and closed-loop interaction, making it a powerful tool for certification and validation.”
Speedgoat will also demonstrate its eVTOL reference application, including a complete development workflow using MATLAB® and Simulink® tools, from system architecture (ARP 4754A) through to automatic code generation and testing. The demonstration includes Speedgoat’s battery cell emulator, a significant innovation enabling aerospace-grade testing of battery management systems in electric aircraft.
Visitors can expect to see how Speedgoat’s tools help accelerate testing and simplify certification, aligning with regulatory requirements from the FAA, EASA and others. “Engineers no longer need to code everything from scratch, our toolboxes allow them to start testing immediately, with visualised aircraft models and parameterised setups,” says Gerster.
Speedgoat’s presence at the event reflects its growing importance in the aerospace testing ecosystem. “Last year, I had some of the most relevant conversations I’ve ever had at a trade show,” Gerster recalls. “People came to us asking how to build iron birds and complete test benches, exactly the type of challenges we help solve.”
The company will also highlight collaborations with other vendors like AVL, combining power-based testing with Speedgoat’s HIL systems for complete lab setups. “It’s not just about components — it’s about working together to provide turnkey solutions,” Gerster adds.
With a strong mix of innovative technology, deep expertise, and integrated workflows, Speedgoat’s stand is a must-visit for anyone involved in aerospace testing, development, and certification.
