The invention provides an aircraft structure dynamic loading testing device, including a nozzle 141, 142, an attachment mechanism comprising a first portion 124 attached to the nozzle such that a nozzle force direction 141c is constrained at a set orientation and a second portion 125 for attaching to the aircraft structure 110 and configured to be constrained at a given orientation with respect to the aircraft structure. Also provided is a length of conduit 121, 123, wherein, in use, fluid is supplied along the length of conduit to the nozzle and ejected from the nozzle such that the nozzle exerts a dynamic force on the aircraft structure in the direction of the nozzle force direction. The invention also provides a dynamic loading testing device, a kit of parts.. Also provided is a method of dynamic load testing of a structure, the method including the following steps; attaching a nozzle to the structure, supplying fluid to eth nizzle such that the nozzle exerts a dynamic force on the structure, and measuring the response of the structure.
