The present work describes the development of XHINIA, a novel X-ray detection system able to be deployed both in production and in-service aeronautical environments. The system is based on a portable high-resolution X-ray detection system coupled to an automatic displacement tool. The evaluation of the detection system performances as well as the detection system detectability performances are here described. Finally the displacement tool is presented and some results of in-service capabilities of the complete system (detector and displacement tool) are presented. The XHINIA system proved to be a unique and very useful tool for in-service recurrent X-ray inspections (circumferential assemblies) and also for expertises in the aeronautical field. The advantages regarding film based inspections are the decreasing of immobilisation time of the part to inspect (automation of the inspection by the use of a common interface displacement/acquisition of X-ray images), the X-ray inspection cost reduction by elimination of films and development products, the possibility of real-time adjustment of X-ray parameters, the easier evaluation on doubtful indications and the improving of traceability. This corresponds to an important decreasing of costs associated with a conventional X-ray inspection. Moreover, the automated displacement tool can be also coupled to UT/ET probes.
