Hail Impact Testing Labs

Although aerospace technology allows aircraft to avoid a great many dangers, hail strikes still cause millions of dollars in damage each year. Hail impact testing helps protect life and property during storms. In other industries, hail impact testing protects roofs, automobiles, and crops and livestock from impact.
