thumb|Timber Beam Strength Test Sylvatest is an ultrasonic measuring device that provides an overall diagnosis of a wooden component to test its mechanical strength. This is a specific non-destructive testing tool for wooden beams.

measuring instrument

elastic waves propagating in solid plates or spheres

Electromagnetic method of non-destructive testing of conductive materials

phenomenon of radiation of acoustic waves in solids that occurs when a material undergoes irreversible changes in its internal structure, e.g. crack formation or plastic deformation due to aging, temperature gradients or external mechanical forces

non-destructive test of pressure vessels

apparatus used in hardware testing

class of solid-state x-ray digital radiography devices

thumb|A vacuum shearography hood and data display unit is applied to a composite structure to check for defects. An indication of a possible defect appears as the ripple pattern on the bottom right of the data screen.

Donecle is a Toulouse-based aircraft manufacturer which develops autonomous aircraft inspection UAVs. The company offers single UAVs and swarms of UAVs to visually inspect the exterior of airliners.

Air-Cobot (Aircraft Inspection enhanced by smaRt & Collaborative rOBOT) is a French research and development project of a wheeled collaborative mobile robot able to inspect aircraft during maintenance operations. This multi-partner project involves research laboratories and industry. Research around this prototype was developed in three domains: autonomous navigation, human-robot collaboration and nondestructive testing.
